No dessert for me because this is for my mom's 95th birthday celebration on Dec. 23rd.
I got as close as I could to today's challenge colors: Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay & Tangerine Tango.
Cut my card base 4 1/4 x 11 and the bottom strip 1 1/2 x 11 (scored both at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2 inches). I attached the strip at the bottom to form a box with the base. It's hard to see in the pic but I actually added 2 braces inside the box so that both the center balloons and the Star 95 are floating. the floating elements were first adhered to clear acrylic strips and then secured to the braces.
The balloons are all one piece so first I die cut in white then in each of today's colors, cut apart and then paper pieced.
