I love this image from Pixabay (La Petite Femme) and it is perfect for making baby cards. I sold all I had and needed some in a hurry so I dug through my image stash to see what I had and found the pink one. I wanted to make a gender neutral one as well so I experimented to see if I could digitally change the colour of the balloon and found that it was very easy in Photo Elements!! Excellent!! So I printed off a few in different colours - green, blue and yellow which should make a few more baby cards when I need them next. Yeah!!!!!!
The first card features a green card layered with some swirly green and white decorative paper cut just a bit smaller than the front of my card. I laser printed the image after I digitally made the balloon a coordinating green and added a greeting, trimmed it to size and layered it onto grey before mounting it over my decorative paper background using 3D foam tape.
For the second card I used a larger image which I had already printed with pink balloons. I cut a pink layer for the image. I layered a laser printed circle punchie greeting onto a silver circle punchie and adhered it to my image. I punched a larger circle from the middle of the of my pink layer before adhering it to the back of my image and then I mounted the circle behind my image so it would highlight the greeting. Really like how that worked out!! I manually embossed a grey card front around the edges before mounting my focal element to it using double sided tape.
Loving these cards!!
