Just Add...a FUN background!
I immediately thought of children's cards with this theme and as my daughter needed a birthday card for her god-daughter who was turning 6 I had the right inspiration and this is what I came up with...
I used the fun stamp set 'Circle Circus' and some lovely bright inks, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive, to create my fun background and then mounted it onto Tempting Turquoise cardstock. I used a retired stamp set 'Whale Wishes' to stamp my image and sponged the edges with Tempting Turquoise and mounted it onto Real Red cardstock. I added the number 6 in Real Red cardstock, cut out using my BigShot and the Timeless Type number dies.
I think I forgot to photograph the inside of my card, but I simply added an additional piece of Whisper White, inked the edges with Tempting Turquoise and put a few coloured bubbles around the edges. I also stamped an additional birthday greeting on the inside too.
The Design Team have some other fun backgrounds to share with you, so pop on over to the Just Add Ink blog to get more inspiration and have some FUN yourself.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend.
