Birthday Wishes

Using the sketch from CAS Colours & Sketches



I made this a regular A2 card instead of the square.  Die cut the balloons from some scrap patterned paper and sponged ink around the edges leaving it lighter in the center.  Tied the balloons with scrapbook floss.  Used a diagonal striped die from Reverse Confetti cutting out of both black and green and inlaying the black pieces into the green strips.  Stamped the sentiments from WPlus9 with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  After seeing this posted on here, I noticed that that tied bow on the strings isn't quite the way I wanted it to look.

Thanks for visiting my blog!

This is a fun card, love the bright balloons. I know what you mean about the bow, sometimes I only notice things when I take the picture. Thanks for using the sketch and joining in with the fun at CC&S
