Text Block: Party Time - Day 5

Good morning, Friends! Welcome back for Day 5 of the Papertrey Ink January Countdown. I'm back today with one final project featuring the Text Block: Party Time Die and I can't wait to share!

I wanted to incorporate vellum to give the balloons a transparent look, so I went with a window card for today.

I began by die cutting a Text Block: Party Time shape and traced the balloon outlines onto the back of a piece of vellum lightly with a pencil. Then, I colored in those spaces with Copic markers on the front side of the vellum. The result is a little bit streaky and spotty, almost like transparent watercolor. I went back and erased my pencil lines and used a colorless blender to clean up any areas that went outside the lines. The mistakes remove easily from the vellum, making this step super no-fuss. I adhered the Text Block: Party Time shape to the vellum and set them aside.

Next I stamped a piece of Melon Berry cardstock with Background Basics: Diagonals using watermark ink. I die cut a window in the center of that piece as well as the front of a white card base. I adhered the vellum piece to the underside of the Melon Berry piece and then mounted the whole thing to the card base with foam tape. I finished it off by using Scor Tape to create a glittered frame over the seams in the front panel. Easy!

That's all for me for this countdown. Thank you so much for joining me these past few days!
