Big You
Hi readers! Happy Tuesday to you! I’m pumped to share this month’s SSS exclusive feature from Laura Bassen with you that has some seriously dreamy colors blended together to make such a beautiful and textured Birthday card for someone special. I think it’s also neutral enough that you could give it to a guy or gal, which is also pretty fantastic!
Enjoy!

Just wanted to come back and say thank you so much for this video as I totally needed it! I was struggling with how to get that appearance of overlapping balloons to replicate the real thing and this video finally helped me to achieve that look. I am so excited that I finally know how to do it! Thank you so much!
