Today I have used the Jasper's Cupcake digital stamp from Digi Doodle Studios, one of our generous sponsors for this challenge to make some birthday cards.

Looks can be deceiving ...
... these cards are a huge 8 1/4" wide and the sentiment is very long.

As soon as I saw this cute image I knew that I needed to attach a long sentiment to the balloon string, so I opened up the image in Silhouette Studio and placed it on an 8 1/4" x 4 1/4" panel.  I went through my font collection and finally found one that had flourishes that went perfectly with the balloon string of the image (details and link below).  ... one crash course in glyphs later and I had my sentiment created and layered it over the image.  I printed two panels on a sheet of A4 X-Press It blending card, heat set, trimmed to size and coloured with Copic markers, trying different combos on each panel.  There were some slight gaps between the flourishes between the words of the sentiment and where I joined it to the balloon string, so I carefully filled them in with a 0.03 black Multiliner.  If you click on the image below, you will see the gaps, yes, they're small, but once you know they're there, you just can't ignore them.

I used heavy smooth white cardstock, a scoreboard and bone folder to make card bases and liquid adhesive to secure the image panels in place.

Here is Jasper with his red balloon.
