Hooray!!!

Hello!  Here's a clean and simple creation which would fit

 the bill for birthdays of any age or gender!
This is for the current CASology Challenge: Cue Word - Float,
 the My Mums Craft Shop Challenge: Summer or Bright Colours
and the Splitcoaststampers Ways to Use It Challenge: Balloons!

I've used the fabulous Birthday Word Art from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps  -

 I love the style of the text on this sentiment and this is one of those
 sets which you will reach for time and time again.

I recently saw Laura Bassen sponge some fabulous balloons
and knew I wanted to try it with a negative
die-cut of the balloon from Birthday Bash Dies.

Here Ranger Distress ink was used and by careful sponging, you can leave a
lighter bit on the ballons so that it gives the effect of translucence.

I then drew in the balloon strings with a pencil just to make sure

they were well placed, before going over that with a fine line black marker.

I added some black sequins and popped up the whole panel on a black 

card base.  It was so much fun making this card and I hope it conveys

a sense of birthday fun for the recipient!

Thanks for stopping by today!
