I started off by cutting all my pieces out. I started with the rabbit and cut all his shapes out of Neenah 80 lb Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. I thought this would be easier to just color the pieces instead of trying to cut out all the pieces from separate cardstock colors. I then cut the balloon shapes out of SSS – Thick Acetate. I knew that the balloons wouldn’t look perfect with this technique as the coloring wouldn’t look uniform, but I wanted to try it out anyway!

Once I had all the shapes cut, I tried to find the back of the balloons and began coloring them with three different colors of Alcohol markers. I took my time and tried to get an even coat all the way across. I let them dry in between but began building the color up with 3-4 layers. I was really happy with the way they came out.

When I had them done, I set them aside and colored and assembled the bunny. Once assembled, I grabbed a piece of SSS MEGA THICK WHITE CARDSTOCK 130 LB Base Weight and a blending brush and began blending on a soft sky using the SSS Original Ink Pad – Winter Sky, making sure to keep it darker at the top.

Once done, the final step was cutting out the balloon strings from vellum. I began assembling the card, making sure to use very little glue on the balloons so that it wouldn’t show.

I love how the balloons look like they are layered just like they would in person.
