Elegant 3D Vignettes Inspiration | Birthday Card with Melissa

Hello!  Melissa Phillips here and I’m so happy to join you again using more of the beautiful 3D Vignettes Dies from Becca Feeken. I had a lot of fun creating this birthday card using these fabulous, layered dies.

Birthday cards are among my most favorite cards to create, and I just knew the tiny balloons in the Layered Happy Birthday Etched 3D Vignettes Dies would create something special.

I die cut my balloons and layered circle from watercolor cardstock.  I blended ink using a foam applicator over each balloon in pastel colors.  I then added a bit of water to create a soft, ethereal look.  Once the balloons were dry, I adhered them over my die cut circle using dimensional adhesive, embellishing with sequins.

I then layered my focal point over pattered paper cut using the beautiful Grand Dome 3D Vignettes Etched Dies.  I added my sentiment using stamps and a die cut banner from the Oh Happy Day Elegant 3D Vignettes collection.
