Birthday Card ~ Happy {3rd Post}

I started by water coloring my background.

Next I used the balloon die to cut my shaker window.

Then I decorated the balloon with heart stamps.

I used an insect trail for the balloon string.

Part of my sentiment is a die cut and the other is stamped.

I finished up my card with some shiny sequins.
