Birthday Bears by Ishani

Hello sweet friends,

Ishani here! Need a quick birthday card? Birthday Bears stamp set makes the most adorable cards and are perfect for your next birthday card. I am sharing this pastel-y birthday card with the cute critters from the set. Also, I have a way to get more out of your Birthday Balloons stencil.

I stamped the adorable bears, the birdies with the banner and a cupcake with Alcohol friendly ink and did some Copic coloring for them. I fussy cut and used a black marker around the edges but you can use the coordinating dies to cut these bears too.

For the background used the Birthday Balloons stencil to selectively blend a few balloons in similar color family but then shifted the stencil to overlap a few - this gives the appearance of real, transparent balloons and just takes a minute. If you don't have a small blending brush you could use some masking tape/ post- it note to mask other openings of balloons so the color remains only on one balloon. Another tip, is to use the corner balloons of the stencil for stenciling.

I hope you like the idea to use balloon stencil a different way and are inspired to make some cute birthday scenes yourself. Check out other beautiful stamps and dies at Crafty Meraki store! If you would like to see more of my work, you could follow me on Instagram at quill_ish where I share more ideas with Crafty Meraki products.

Have a lovely crafty week ahead :)

Lots of love ~ Ishani
