Another MIM card

I liked this technique!
So I pulled out a few IP and made the impressions,
then I lined them up and used chalk to color them in
This was kind of fun with all the circles, I decided it needed balloons.
I used Birthday Style and stamped the balloon in many different colors,
I embossed the one on vellum with zing apricot powder.
I hope you will give this a try; you can watch the video HERE .
 
We have sun, then it gets dark and rains, then the sun again...
what a day!!

You paired this one perfectly ! Love the embossed circle with the bright balloons. We won't ever need printed paper again:) now.

haha! I did the same thing, assembly line style with several different impression plates. I have a few cards waiting to be finished and one with the same balloon set. Better get my butt in gear and stop procrastinating. :0) I'm enjoying all your cards. They're all awesome!
