Celebration Cards
Featuring balloons, stencils, and dies from the Waffle Flower August Release
The new Wave Stencil makes it easy to create some gorgeous backgrounds! I love the way the colors overlap and create more variation. (Tip: this is best used with a group of colors that mix together well. Pick groups near each other on the color wheel, as I did here.)
I cut the panel with one of the A7 Piercing Elongated ovals, and then cut a slightly larger white base using the next size up.
I added the stenciled panel with 1/16” thick foam tape to create some nice depth, and used the same thickness on the heart and the sentiment.

This is one of those cards that I didn’t set out to make, but just “happened”. I was actually stenciling a panel to make the first card (above) and stenciled two colors (with graduated saturation) on the first stencil. When I removed it to add the next stencil layer I decided I really liked it as is, and thought that white space would be fun to wrap a sentiment along, so I left it as is. ( started a new panel that I stenciled all of, which became card 1.)
When I came back to finish this one, I thought the heart balloons would be fun to layer over the colored waves, so cut a trio of sizes in coordinating colors.
To coordinate with the color waves, I added just a bit of same-color shading on each balloon, to create just a little bit of visual depth. (And then attached them all with foam for true dimension.)
I stamped the sentiment in gray because it felt right with the soft colors on the blends, and tied that in by using a soft gray bow on the largest balloon.
