A Balloon Birthday!

 

 Hello All!
I hope today finds you in good health and happy!

I've been wanting to play along in a few other challenges available out there in blogland but I've been so tied up trying to work ahead on all my design team projects that I just haven't taken the time ... well that is, until today!!!

Here's a card for the challenge over on Festive Friday ... here's their fun list to pick from today . . .

 I went with:   Balloons, Polka Dots, Bright Colors and Celebatory Sentiment (oh yea and LAYERS probably qualify too).

Even though I popped up the two smaller and 1 large balloon for added dimension, I see now that I should have watched my positioning on the center small balloon ... blends right in with the ones behind.  Ooops!  lol

My polka dot background paper comes from the Sunny Studio double sided Dots & Stripes 6x6 paper pack.  The paper I used to die cut my balloons is a panel from the Craft Consortium 'Ink Drops - Candy' 6x6 paper pack.  The balloons are from Impression Obsession (DIE 359).

 

The sentiment is from Pink Fresh - Perfect Sentiments stamp & die set.

 Here's a peek at the inside of my card . . .

Yep, I had an extra balloon so used it inside.  I also used a OLD Martha Stewart 3-in-1 butterfly punch to punch out a few cute butterflies from what was left of the paper panel I cut my balloons from (waste not want not ya know! lol).

 Here's another photo coming from the opposite angle.
I'm very happy with how this card came together.  What a fun challenge.

 

The striped panel is the part I had to cut off the designer paper to have the correct size for my A6 card.  Luckily with it being 2-sided I could simply flip it over and add it as another design element.

 Thanks so much for stopping by today ... I so appreciate your visit!!
As always . . .
