Hi friends! Please join me in welcoming back our special guest Cathy Zielske in the latest edition of our monthly edition of EZ with CZ! Read on and be sure to watch the video for all the details! Enjoy!

Hello everyone! It’s Cathy Zielske, back with another installment of EZ with CZ. Today I’m using just a few stamps to create a fun balloon background for a birthday card showcasing the Balloon Greetings stamp set. This is a really easy way to take a simple shapes stamp, overlap as you go, and keep your colors to one side of the rainbow.

I’m choosing cool analogous colors for my project today. Analogous colors simply sit next to one another on the color wheel and you can work in rainbow order. In this card I am using Seafoam, Surf, Cadette, Violet, Tropic, Sprout, and Celery! Depending on how many times you stamp an image, dye inks appear a little translucent when they overlap, which is a really cool look.

You can change up the look of a design like this just by going with different colors. This would look really fun by choosing warmer colors, too! Here is my tutorial showing you how I created this card:
