Hey lovelies and welcome to the 3rd birthday blog hop for Studio Katia. If you are following the hop order you should have arrived here from the lovely Amy Rysavy
We are celebrating with a Blog Hop and a New Release. This release includes 5 new clear stamp sets and 1 set of coordinating dies, 1 new stand alone Creative Die, 2 new Stencils and lots of new embellishments!
I’m very happy to be joining the birthday hop, I have taken part in all 3 birthday hops and you guys all know how much I love Katia and her products.
For my card today I have used Birthday Balloons Vertical stamp set and also the Birthday Balloons Horizontal stamp set.

I started off by stamping the Vertical stamps along the edge of some Spectrum Noir Card stock, I then masked these off and stamped the Horizontal across the top and bottom.
I then marked off 3 circles and coloured just in these areas’s using Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.
To add some interest I added some grey shading to the other areas of the card and also added some Clear Sparkle to a couple of the balloons.

I then stamped the fab It’s Your Birthday Stamp, on the areas that overlapped the coloured areas I added some white highlighting and also some clear sparkle.
I then adhered this to an A2 top folding pink notecard and finished off with some of the new 3mm Crystal Rainbow Sequins.

This is some really incredible masking, and I love the frame you created. And then the spotlight coloring is such a fun touch. Thanks for sharing (though now I think I might need both versions of the balloon trimmings stamps)!

Oh my stars, Tracy! Your highlight colouring is absolutely ‘spot on’ (sorry…had to *grin*). Perfect technique for those of us who may not have time/inclination to colour. Totally smitten with this smile-making gem!
