I decided to play with my favourite colour combation for my birthday card... and to create shades of the same colours I just used a lighter or heavier hand with my ink blending on each of the balloons. To make them look a little more dynamic, I added some white gel pen highlights to the embossed, die cut and ink blended balloons...

ReplyDeleteWow, I am amazed that it's just one blue and green color and the variation of colors is because of the pressure (mental note made)! Love the pairing of bold sentiment with the beautiful balloons, Nancy!
