Today's card is featured over at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration and features a single layer card. I decided to use of my current favorite stamp sets: Celebrate Today. I was so excited to see this stamp set carry over from the Occasions catalog.

My goal was to create a single layer card that didn't feel plain. I decided on a masking technique with the simple balloon stamp. I layered a few differently colored balloons and then had some fun embellishing the balloons. Rhinestones and candy dots were added to a few of the balloons. They add some great visual interest without any extra layers. Lastly, I heat embossed the sentiment on the middle balloon. The sentiment is hard to see in pictures, but shows up well in person. Overall, I loved the challenge of making a single layer card. Turns out I can actually do it!
