missing you.

I had so much fun playing with Avery Elle's new Storybook stamp set that I created another card.  Or maybe I'm just avoiding thoughts of icing Maia's rainbow cake. ha.

missing you.

I used Storybook, Build a Banner, and Thanks a Bunch to create this card.  The only balloon included in Storybook is the bigger one, but the bubbles image made for a perfect bunch of balloons, floating farther in the distance.  I drew the balloon tails using a 0.3 copic multiliner pen, and added highlights using a white gel pen.

missing you.

I couldn't resist adding some glitter to the balloon and the duck.

Now, back to rainbows.  Maia turns 4 today, and has had her heart set on a rainbow party for the last few months.  Together, we found this cake on pinterest.


eeek. I kept trying to steer her towards this kind of rainbow cake instead, but she wouldn't budge.


Wish me luck! I'm so much more comfortable with paper than frosting!

In honor of Maia's birthday, here is her favorite rainbow song:
