Hopping with the Inking Royalty

Hi! I'm excited today because I was lucky enough to be invited to join in the InKing Royalty Blog hop.  The InKing Royalty is Brian King's Stamping team.  

Brian and I met on one of the Stampin' Up! trips.  We can't recall which one but it's always nice to catch up and chat with Brian. 

This month Brian and I did a sharing swap with our teams.  He shared some stories and inspiration with the Team STIC stampers and I shared some stamping and stories with his Inking Royalty Team. 

After I had the pleasure of sharing with his team, he asked if I wanted to join their blog hop this month.  

Sure!  Why not? It's just more stamping fun! 

So, I understand the theme is balloons. 

Balloons are fun! I hope after you read my post you'll hop on to the next blog listed below. 
I had fun playing with the Hey Birthday Chick stamp set. 

I seem to be in a "Basic Black" streak.  (Did you see my card from last week's live session? See how it also uses Basic Black as the cardstock base)

Black and white has such a dramatic effect but the card needed a pop of colour.  I went for Rococo Rose highlights since pink is a favourite colour of mine! 

I just love that little chick in the stamp set so I decided to use that image to create the background.  I punched out a 2" circle for the sentiment and to add the Rococo rose highlights...

Blending Brushes to the rescue!  If you haven't tried these beauties you absolutely NEED to get a set.  The sponging effect is so soft and smooth.  

Other pink highlights were added with a Rococo Rose balloon punch out, some pink twine and a strip of the Love you Always Specialty Designer Series Paper. 

I couldn't resist adding a little glamour by using the Wink of Stella Glimmer Brush over the balloon! 

I hope you enjoy my balloon project! The complete supply list is below. Thanks for dropping in!
