One of the best things about following along with challenges is it helps you to think outside the box.  I like being able to push myself to come up with something unique, or different. While the elements themselves of this card are not very different or difficult, thanks to the sketch from this week’s CAS(e) This Sketch #392 I feel like I created a unique card.

I like the bright colors, and this stamp set from Altenew called “Birthday Greetings” is perfect for creating a balloon bouquet!

The background streamers are from another Altenew stamp set called “Birthday Bash”. I use these two sets together quite a bit.

The string is from black bakers twine I had on hand, and I attached my bouquet to the card using a large brad from my miscellaneous stash!

As you can see, I used some embossing on the balloons. I also created my streamers and the sentiment with embossing too.

Thanks for stopping by today, and enjoy the day1
