Birthday Card ~ Birthday Bunch {3rd Post}

For my third birthday balloon card I took a little creative licence 

with the sketch turning it sideways and 

using the three balloons to represent the triangles.

This was really a creative stretch for me since 

I usually try to follow sketches pretty closely.

I left off the accent strip because I wanted this one to be real CAS.

I was real happy the string bow stamped so well over the die cut balloons.

I think this one will be going to one of my brothers {I have 4}

Birthday Card ~ And a Little Pink, Too {2nd Post}

I created my second card with a touch of pink.

I used a few more of the balloons I sponged up with a stencil.

This time I stamped the sentiment balloon on pink paper.

Birthday Card ~ Black and Blue {1st Post}

I had a little fun inking up one of my stencils today.

I used to work with stencils years ago but haven't used one in years.

I sponged up my background and die cut balloons.

I stamped the center sentiment balloon to add a little pop of color.
