Rainbow Balloons Birthday

Posted on June 7, 2023June 7, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

Well, I got the card done by the deadline but the blog post took a couple of extra days. I’ve been busy busy busy making cards for the Karen Burniston June Release but I was able to sneak in a Craft Roulette card

Here are this week’s parameters ⬇️

I took me a bit to wrap my brain about how I was going to meet the parameters but then it just clicked, and this is what I came up with.

Small Bag- the little hand bad the girl gnome is holding

Rainbow colours- throughout the card

Wheel- the greeting turns on the yellow wheel revealing 4 different messages

Shimmer- I used Wink of Stella to add glimmer to all the balloons and the girl gnomes.

All the fun is in the reveal, to see this card in action please check out my FACEBOOK page, feel free to join if you would like to share your own crafty creations. You can also see a video of this card on my INSTAGRAM page.

It’s Craft Roulette time, I actually just got the card done in time for the Sunday night deadline, lol, so I didn’t get my blog post done until now. I found this weeks parameters a little bit tricky. Parameter 1- was a Dutch Door card, meaning the front had to be split having a top and a bottom. I chose to have my bottom open to the left and my top open to the right. Parameter 2- the colours had to be campfire colours, Parameter 3- had to be a page from a book and Parameter 4- it had to have a hat or cap. My gnomes are all wearing hats, but I could not cut a page out of a book. So I decided to take a page out of a colouring book, and colour the flowers in yellows, oranges and reds. I don’t colour often so this was my time consuming part lol, I’ll explain more in the details below. And of course my own parameter was to make a pop up card.

So I had fun on a Friday night lol, Karen Burniston was a guest on the Craft Roulette YouTube Live . The idea of Craft Roulette is the host Mary Gunn, spins a wheel 4 times, to get 4 parameters in which you must use to make your card. The parameters are -Project, Colors, Element, and Random. So nobody knows what kind of card they are making until after the wheel randomly chooses. Last nights parameters ended up being a 5” x 7” card, in Spring colours, Starts with “G” and “outside the lines” so my card ended up being a 5” x 7” card , with mostly pastel colours with a few pops, I have gnomes in a garden, and a little bit of glimmer (wink of Stella on butterflies and some sequins) and my “out side the lines” is that the gnomes are peeking over from outside the lines of the label shape, and some of my other elements hang over the lines of the mechanism. If you play along don’t forget to post your card on the Craft Roulette website . Here is my card
