Consigli dalla puntata

• Using the die to cut only the balloon portion is a fast way to create multiple balloon shapes.
• Paper piecing with contrasting colours gives a completely different look to a stamp without needing watercolours.
• Shaping the card top around the balloon cluster creates more visual interest than leaving it square.
