Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
My last card as Surprise Party Guest at Seize the Birthday.
I have really enjoyed my party time with this fun team.
Thank you so much for the honor and the warm welcome.
The balloons were cut from coated paper colored with Alcohol Pearls.
They have a wonderful shimmer that doesn't show up well in the photos.
The birthday was die cut from shaving cream & re-inker on coated paper.
The strings were tied on with DMC metallic thread.
It was all put on last month's 3D Embossing Folder from the Spellbinders club.
Oops. I had to go back and add something.
This is going to a very special almost 12 year old. It's hard to believe that Jack
is almost a teenager! Where did that time go?

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Jack! I love the colorful balloons, Bonnie, and how you personalized the card to his age.
ReplyDeleteI can see the shimmer of the ai pearl inks on your coated card, Bonnie. So beautiful ... and wonderful colours. Jack is going to LOVE his very special card from Nana & Pop! Great save the "TH" :) xx

Gorgeous shimmer from your Alcohol Ink Pearls balloons, which I could see in the 2nd photo:-) Jack is going to LOVE his very special one of a kind 12th Birthday card, Bonnie. Especially since he has been stamping with you, since he was a little guy:-) TFS Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteI bet the shimmer is just amazing in real life and the white embossing is the perfect backdrop for your shimmery balloons xx
ReplyDeleteThis is a really fun and festive card, Bonnie, and perfect for almost 12 year old Jack. I can see the pearly shine in the second photo. Nice!
ReplyDeleteEven I can't believe Jack's turning 12, Bonnie! He's going to love your card as much as the Seize the Birthday team is going to miss you!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Jack!

I bet your AI balloons are so shimmery IRL ♥. I can't believe Jack is 12, he's growing up so fast xx
ReplyDeleteI'm playing catch up after our vacation and I've missed a whole lot of pretty. Each card is as wonderful as the next. So happy to see on of them in the JUGs gallery, Bonnie. A big congrats to your graduate!

What a FUN birthday card Bonnie and Jack is going to LOVE it! And here I was thinking he was 8 or 9...where has the time gone?!! These kids sure have a lot of nerve getting older on us!! Good thing it's not happening to us! Haha!! Have a great weekend my friend!! Hugs. :0)

Well done on the shaving cream effect -- worked perfectly for the fun balloons and matching number
ReplyDeleteSuper fun and festive!
ReplyDeleteLots of different techniques used to create this lovely card. Jack will love his card. Perfect colors for your balloons. Awesome card, Bonnie. And it was a pleasure having you as our Party Guest.
ReplyDeleteI see the beautiful shimmer for those Alcohol Pearls! Wonderful colors, very pretty, Bonnie
ReplyDeleteWhat a festive and very fun birthday card for someone special Bonnie! I love the embossing folder and I love your inky papers you used to cut your balloons and numbers from. I still haven't done any shaving cream backgrounds, never seem to remember to buy the darn shaving cream. LOL I sure do love the look. I'm sure the pearl alcohol inks shimmer so nicely in real life. I don't know where time goes, kids are suddenly teens or all grown up and graduating! LOL I'm sure Jack loved his card! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteIt has been such an absolute pleasure having you with us for the past two months! I know Jack is going to love this card. The balloons and the number 12 look so cool and perfect for a young man. The EF background ties everything together perfectly! Please stay in touch!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for being our surprise party guest. This last card is a fun and beautiful card. I love your balloons and the number 12 on the white background. It’s a stand out for sure.
ReplyDeletePerfect final party guest card! The balloons look so cool. Happy birthday to Jack,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card for your grandson Bonnie, and I love the shimmer and shine on the balloons and the shaving foam piece used for the numbers goes beautifully, and the 3D EF makes a terrific background. They grow up so quickly don't they. x
ReplyDeleteThis is a super card Bonnie. I love those balloons cut from your own specially created papers...in fact I love everything about it as I am sure Jack does too. It's wonderful. xx
ReplyDeleteLOVE this! Your alcohol ink balloons look wonderful! Never thought to cut balloons from alcohol ink backgrounds. Hard to believe Jack is 12 alreeady. My stamping pal, Ryan just got his drivers license. Where did the time go? And lucky us to have their childhood spent with us.
ReplyDeleteStunning birthday card. 12 years is a beautiful age, these colorful balloons perfectly emphasize it.

ReplyDeleteOh, I love the colors of the alcohol pearls, even without seeing the obviously-present-shimmer. They just look different from the normal alcohol inks. Your card is brilliant! Thank you so much for this awesome inspiration, Bonnie!
