Make It Monday



Papertrey has a fun challenge for this Make It Monday. Nichole has challenged us to stamp our sentiment on vellum. See the details and Nichole's video here.

My youngest's two year birthday is coming up in March. He is obsessed with balls. LOVES them. Goes crazy when he sees them. Even sleeps with them. So, when I asked if he wanted his birthday theme to be monkeys (what I wanted it to be), he said, "No. Balls."

And so a ball theme birthday party it is. The first thing I thought was, "I have to get me that "Have A Ball" stamp set from PTI!"

This is what I came up with for the party invitations:

Oh boy, was there a LOT of masking going on in this card! I used Simple Alphabet for the sentiment and the idea was to make the letters mimic a bouncing ball. Originally I wanted to keep it one layer, but when I saw the Make It Monday challenge, I thought the vellum would be a nice touch. Love how the vellum sentiment strip can be feminine or masculine.

Thanks for stopping by.

This is so cute Laura! I love the twine!

This is fabulous. The card has so much depth and texture thanks to the masking and the twine. Who would believe a mini $5 set could have so much impact?

Oh, this is really cute! That was a heckuva lot of masking, but you did it really well.

I love this idea...need to sketch it out for my nephew's birthday card--he's obsessed just like your son is :)
