Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration is a happy birthday poster!

SCALLOPED BLOOMS
Actually I was kind of stumped with this inspiration…I don’t have any current cake, balloon or present stamp images! But then I remembered the Bee Builder Punch body kind of looks like a balloon! Bingo!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Blueberry Bushel cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- I made a rainbow ink pad using reinkers to stamp the Scalloped Blooms Happy Birthday image with a rainbow of colors in the background of my 3-3/4 x 5 piece of Basic White cardstock. I didn’t have any baby wipes, so I used a paper towel (a baby wipe would make the colors brighter!), spritzed it with water and added 4 drops each of Daffodil Delight, Blueberry Bushel, Granny Apple Green and Poppy Parade reinkers. It was added to the front of the base card.

- A 1-3/4 x 4-1/4 piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock was stamped towards the right side with the Scalloped Blooms happy birthday greeting in Basic Black Hybrid Ink. It was added across the front towards the bottom.
- The body from the Bee Builder Punch was punched from Granny Apple Green, Highland Heather, Blueberry Bushel, Poppy Parade and Daffodil Delight cardstocks, then added in a cluster to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The White Baker’s Twine Essentials was cut into five 3″ strings and adhered with a Stampin’ Dimensional under the bottom balloon. Some more white Baker’s Twine was tied in a bow and added to the balloon base with a Mini Glue Dot.
- A White Gel Pen (love that we are carrying these again!) was drawn on the balloons for the highlight.
- A trio of white Sunset Sparkle Sequins were added to the background around the greeting.

I think I improvised pretty well with my balloon bouquet, don’t you? OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
