Balloon Birthday

Balloons anyone! I hosted the Clean and Simple challenge on Monday and this is my sample card.

It was my birthday Saturday past, and Canada 
is celebrating our 150th Anniversary of Canadian Confederation and, the US will be celebrating their 4th of July, so to celebrate 
I decided on balloons. 

For my card I stencilled the circles using my Clarity brushes, gradually fading out the circles. I die cut 2 balloons in 
vellum and brushed on the colours,
added the twine and attached on foam dots. 
For my sentiment, I heat embossed my sentiment using 
gold embossing powder and die cut it with
the stitched rectangles and used vellum tape to attach to 
the card base. And to finish, a scattering of 
sequins completes my card. 

I have missed posting to my blog. I have been
knee deep in painting my place. What a job, but 
what a difference too. I am loving my colours 
making such a happy place to create.

Thanks for visiting, I will see you next time.
