<p>Stamp I used is from Workshops on the Go® Kaleidoscope Cardmaking Kit from Close To My Heart.</p>
<p>I used Canson 140lbs Watercolor Paper as the card base. Then I stamped the balloons using Distress ink pads. I wet the inks using small Paintbrush (CTMH) to give watercolor look, dried them well with Craft Heater (CTMH).</p>
<p>Onc they all dried, I doodled the baloon outlines, strings and bows on them using Fine-Point Sharpie Marker. And then I stamped the sentiment with Black Exclusive Ink Pad (CTMH).</p>
<p>I finished the card with some Silver Glitter Gems enamel CTMH.</p>
<p>This is a one-layerd and quick cheerful card to make. For sure, I had so much fun making this card (and 3 more&#8230; And more&#8230;) I cannot stop making them&#8230; <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f600.png" alt="😀" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
