From the Heart Stamps: I {heart} sketches with a tWist #113

For this card, I used the current sketch on the From the Heart blog. The "Happy Birthday" banner is a cut file I sized to fit an A2 card to copy the top part of the sketch. Then I used the digital stamp and sentiments from the Mouse Balloon set (this is a FREE set, by the way!) by From the Heart Stamps. I traced the image and then used the offset feature in my Silhouette Design Studio software and combined the original image and offset to make a cut file. Then, using the traced image, I clicked on "release compound path" and selected the balloon. I moved it aside, deleted the rest of the traced image and then colored the balloon yellow. For the sentiments, I sized them for the card and then created a curved rectangle around each of them. Now I was ready to put all my elements on the virtual mat, select "show registration marks" and print and cut my image, banner and sentiments. Then I colored my mouse image. I adhered the banner with a Zig glue pen and then used foam squares for the "Wish Big" sentiment and the mouse image, placing an extra foam square on the yellow balloon to pop it up. Inside the card, the "Have a mice day" sentiment is adhered with glue tape.
