JAI 703 choose two challenge - hot air balloons rainbow

handmade birthday or just because card made with Stampin Up Hot Air Balloon dies, Beach Day stamp set, and Stampin Blends alcohol markers. Card by Diane Barnes - colourmehappy - stampinupcards - cardmaking - 24-25 Annual Catalogue

Hello & welcome to a new project share. I made today's card for a beautiful friend, and it's also my team project for Just Add Ink's Choose Two challenge to add balloons, bright colours, or birthday. I chose balloons and bright colours, but it would work well for a birthday too. The sweet, heart shaped balloons in the Hot Air Balloons die set were perfect to create my rainbow of colour, and I teamed them with sentiments from the Beach Day set, which you know I love too. Take a look at the finished card.

JAI 700 Just add shimmer-shine - birthday sunflower

handmade sunflower birthday card using stampin up celebrate sunflowers, amazing thanks, wanted to say, new horizon paper. Card by Diane Barnes - colourmehappy - stampinupcards

Hello and welcome to a new project share. This card celebrates my very special DD, and also a milestone for Just Add Ink. It's our 700th challenge. Amazing! It's also fun that our challenge is to add shimmer or shine, as I think every celebration needs one or both.
DD loves sunflowers so that was my starting point for the card. I used mostly retired goodies - Celebrate Sunflowers stamps set and coordinating dies, Amazing Thanks dies, and New Horizons paper, and current Wanted to Say dies. Here's how it turned out.
