Birthday Card ~ Party Animal {1st Post}

I have a couple of birthday cards to share today.

To start off I stamped the sentiment around the edges.

Next I used this fun AE balloon animal to create my background.

To finish off I die cut one off the balloons and 

attached it with foam tape to add a little dimension.

I created my cards to play along at the

at Nicole's Right At Home blog.
