Inkspirational #311 Mickey Balloon

Inkspirational Challenge #311 has posted today over at the blog.  

The challenge is Clean and Simple (CAS) 

optional: feature a balloon

Since I recently purchased this fun Mickey die set  from Kat Scrappiness, I opted to feature a balloon!  I kept it CAS by embossing a white background behind the die cuts that are up on foam dots.  Lots of open white space!

So we hope you will join us for this challenge and link up your CAS design over at Inkspirational where you can also check out all the wonderful CAS designs from the rest of the DT!

Mickey and Minnie Birthday Balloon

 A friend requested that I  make a card for her 9 year old granddaughter, Gwen, who loves all things Disney!

I recently purchased some fun Mickey and Minnie stamps, dies and patterned papers, so pulled them right out to create this card.  I colored the mice with Zig Clear Color brushes in Cobalt Blue, Black and Carmine Red.   I added dots to Minny's skirt with a white POSCA pen

The balloon is from the  Magical Memories Die set by Kat Scrappiness, Minnie and Micky are from Mousing Around stamps and die from Unity.  All the die cuts are up on foam dots.  I used my Brother Label Maker for the sentiment.

Instead of making a folded card - I added a die cut easel to the back of the panel so it could be stood up and displayed.  The hearts are from the Mousing Around stamp set, the sentiment is from Sentiment Suite: Birthday from The Greetery.
