Blue Sky and Clouds Backing Paper 2

I printed the sheet out onto 120gsm good quality white paper. I cut a panel from the printed background and matted this onto a piece of white, hammered, cardstock using finger-lift tape.

I then went around the edge of the mat using a ProMarker.

I prepared my base card by scoreing a sheet of A4, hammered white cardstock using my Hougie Board and then folding it in half.

I put a strip of blue blingalicious cardstock down the left hand side some half a centimeter out from the side.

I used my ScanNCut to cut out a hot air baloon using an in-built cutting file - the back layer is cut from one of the backgrounds in cup534387_1446 printed onto 250gsm Super Smooth white cardstock and the other layer and basket was cut from purple 270gsm Basal cardstock.

The greeting "Penblwydd Hapus" - which is Welsh for "Happy Birthday" - was also cut out using my ScanNCut.
