Inkspirational - Challenge #19


You know, put a pink glittery balloon on a gift bag and I'd be happy. Nope, it doesn't take a lot for me :) Of course, one that holds a gift card makes me a little happier and this one does slip out of the bag for ease of shopping! :)

 I love this background paper, it's a flocked embossed texture that feels so good to run your fingers over.
Added lace to the inside of the bag to emulate tissue paper. I do recommend adding a bit of wax paper into the bag to keep the glue from adhering the bag together. The handle is created the same way from a piece of twine.

The balloon is sitting on a glue dot and I tried to shape the balloon over it to give it a more rounded look. I spread some stickles over the balloon and then outlined with the same color. Filled in with some glossy accents.

  1. Oh a pink glitter balloon how delightful. Have you tried shaping the balloon before sticking it on by placing unsidedown on a sponge mat and gently rubbing with a large embossing tool in circles? Hope I'm not doing the "sucking eggs" trick here. HUGS - BJ

  10. Loved this cute gift card holder. (And thx for the wax paper tip!). Your lace trim on the bag was a wonderful accessory, along with the glossy accents on the balloon. Really liked the soft pinks & greens on this one. TFS
