Birthday Card ~ Balloon {1st Post}

I used some more of that design paper I scavenged from the 

scrapbooks a former co-worker gave me a few years back on this card.

They worked perfectly with this weeks Viva la Verve sketch.

*Card base 4.25 x 5.5 in.

*Sentiment from the Treasured Words stamp set from Verve Stamps.
*Balloon from the Always On My Mind stamp set from Verve Stamps.

*Banner cut using the Flag It die set from Verve Stamps.

*Tag cut by hand.
*Design paper and string from my stash.

*Memento Tuxedo Black stamp pad from Tsukineko.

May your day always be filled with love and laughter.

Crafty hugs,   

Dawn
