Look Felicity, I managed to use this stamp without the white square taking up the whole card (I had been complaining about how big this stamp is!) I freehand cut around the balloons and the cupcake and cut the other edges straight so there wasn't so much white. How cool does it look! It actually looks as though the balloons and cupcake are standing off the card IRL. It's a Bella stamp of course.. one of my fave companies. I made 2 of this card, one Bella with brown hair and one with blonde :) gotta mix it up a little, next time I'll do red or black hair! I coloured her party hat, the cupcake sprinkles and the "shine" on the balloons with my Sakura Gelly Roll pen for a bit of sparkle.
This Blooming with Happiness set is one of the best sets for girly cards.. I love that dress! Using up some of my scraps here too {cheering!} Those cute little plastic ovals are just from BigW but add some cool bling :) I love the sheer ribbon too, very elegant.
And a Thank You card to finish up with. The vase stamp was a freebie I got from The Cat's Pajamas . They sent me a little selection of red rubber to say thanks for my order {big smiley face!} how cool is that! It's a cute, funky vase, which I coloured with my blender pen and SU ink then blinged up the water and flower centers with Kindyglitz. I sponged Lime Brilliance around the edge of the scallop rectangle using the plain square nestabilities as a stencil, then mounted it on foam tape. More sheer ribbon, some plastic ovals and it's done! Hope you're all having a great weekend so far!

I absolutely LOVE how you cut around the cupcake and balloon! I didn't even notice it at first and thought it was a night tight little rectangle. Very clever!! And cool freebie stamp too! :D
Great job with the BIG stamp... FANTASTIC! It looks brilliant! I bet you'll use it heaps more now too! :-)
