CASE of Ange for Jay Gee's Nook #18

Hello!

This morning, as I was browsing blog world, I came across THESE CARDS on Ange Kelly's blog and my jaw dropped open. It stayed open for a long time. I pinned this card. 51 other people re-pinned it almost immediately. The card did not leave my mind all morning. So at lunch time today, I sat down and had a play to see what I could make in the same style.  First I pulled out PTI Botanical Silhouettes, but what I really wanted to create was a fun card for my two year old niece. So I grabbed PTI Tag-Its #10, Think Big Favorites #13, Block Alphabet dies, and a rainbow of Stampin'Up! inks and off I went.

This is my card.
I already had rainbows and balloons and parties in my head from the inspiration board for challenge 18 over at Jay Gee's Nook for this month. Ange's card just galvanised me to action, immediately!
I will admit that making this card was a little fiddly. Trying to double pop those letters with tiny pieces of foam was difficult, and my hands were shaking, LOL! But I love how it turned out.

Thanks for coming to visit today.

Hi Michelle, thanks so much for your lovely comments. I need to share something with you about the card - what I actually did was die cut my letters 3 times in coloured card stock then once in white (neutral), I then stuck them together (like chipboard) with the white on top ready for stamping. Much, much easier than tiny pieces of dimensionals. Hope this helps next time you try this technique .... Cheers Ange
