Glossy Rainbow Birthday Balloons

December 21, 2020 - by Houses Built of Cards

Glossy Rainbow Birthday Balloons

Good morning! I’m back today for the weekly Monday feature for me here on the Unity Stamp Company Blog! So happy to be featuring the AMAZING Unity Kit of the Month set on Mondays here on the blog. These kits are always AMAZING, and they hold a special place in my heart since they were the first thing I purchased from Unity, and what got me hooked on Unity to begin with. Who DOESN’T love getting a happy package of stamps in the mail every month, right? And these kits just keep getting better and better. You can read all the details and info to sign up HERE, and see this month’s kit as well.

Today’s card is a simple and bright watercolor rainbow card!

Here is the video for today’s card:

I used Distress Inks to add my watercolor – but any form of watercolor you prefer to use would work just as well. The colors I used are Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin, Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, and Salty Ocean.

Adding Glossy Accents on the balloons has two great effects – first of all, the fun glossy texture it gives the balloons, and secondly for the way it helps deepen the color over the balloons. This helps enhance the difference in the depth of the colors since it is a tone on tone effect.

Here is a closer look at the fun shine on those balloons!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope to see you back here next week – have a wonderful week!
