Quick and Easy Birthday Card

Do you want to create a handmade card, but just don't have the time to get all of your supplies out?  Lacking the creative mojo of cardmaking?  Well this card could not be quicker or easier to make.


Instructions:

  1. Start with a red card stock base
  2. Cut a piece of white card stock 1" shorter than the red card base.
  3. Cut out a red, pink and green circle
  4. Stamp out a Sentiment and trim to size and round corners
  5. Cut a piece of red card stock 1/2" larger than the sentiment, and round corners.
  6. Glue the circles down, and draw balloon knots with corresponding colours.  join the balloons with grey coloured string drawing.
  7. Attach sentiment.
I am entering this card in the following Challenges:

The Colour Throwdown #673


If you wanted to take the card to the next level, you could emboss the balloons and white card stock or use ribbon/string instead of drawing the string. I hope this simple card has given you some inspiration.

DIY Milk Paint Recipe

After the outstanding results I received with the DIY CHALK PAINT , if you read my sideboard , rocking chair or toy chest posts, you will have seen the amazing results that the chalk paint made. So this time  i thought i would test out a milk paint recipe What you need: 4 parts milk powder 1 part bicarbonate of soda 1 part pigment 6 parts cold water Patience  The method is pretty simply. All you need to do is mix the milk, bicarbonate of soda and pigment powders together then add the water and stir well. Leave the paint to sit for 1 hour then stir again and paint. (I know, i know you probably will want to get painting you project, but if you can wait – you will get better outcomes - try watching an episode of  Once Upon a Time... oh lord, my sister and i are addicted) The milk paint dries quickly so once you’ve started using it and be careful not go back over areas, as you can wipe the paint back off. Even though it is touch dry in about 15 min...
