Double Fence with Balloons

Good morning friends!

I have a fun card to share today, using the House Pivot die (a Pop it Ups die by Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs).  Here is a peek at the front … sponged clouds with an ECD Balloon die cut from polka dot paper and inked.

To create this card, I cut the blue inner card slightly smaller than A2 size, then cut a double fence using the House Pivot Die.  Instead of having the two side fences PIVOT though, I folded them at the pivot points so they would remain in their spots. Since they would need to be adhered in place though, I cut a white A2 sized card and attached the blue card inside the white one. That gave me the backing piece I needed to adhere the folded fence portions too.  

I added a few more die cut balloons … I have so much fun with these balloon dies!  They are a great way to use up scraps. The grass pieces were cut and attached to a strip of the same green patterned paper.

I cut two more fence pivots, trimming away the excess and attached the pieces on either side of the folded, glued down fence. That gave me a fence that went right across the card.

The Happy Birthday was cut from Red Velvet Adhesive Sheets and added to the left side, and I added some some bakers twine to tie one of the balloons to the fence.
