I decided to combine the retired with the new and use stamps that I like from the retired ones I have.  I always like the Balloon Adventure Stamp Set, so decided I would make an encouragement card with it, while at the same time using some of the great products in the Occasions catalog for 2018.

My design is inspired by Just US Girls.

 

I started with a base of Night of Navy cardstock cut 4-1/4 x 11.  Scoring the piece at 5-1/2.  I cut a mat 4 x5-1/4 from a piece of the Sweet Soiree DSP. I adhered this to the Night of Navy card base with liquid glue.

I used the Balloon Adventure die to cut the art piece.  I used the two balloons.  I used liquid glue to adhere all these to the base balloons on the art piece. I also used liquid glue to adhere the art piece to the mat cut from the Sweet Soiree DSP.  In thinking back, I would probably have popped the art piece on the mat instead of using the glue.

I sentiment on the banner is from the Petal Palette Stamp Set.

I stamped my inside sentiment on a piece of Whisper White cardstock cut at 4 x 5-1/4. I stamped a balloon in Pool Party as an accent. 

I adhered the sentiment piece with liquid glue to the Night of Navy card base.  It really was a simple and easy card.

Hope you enjoy!  Visit again.
