This is my card for CC947. Chris is our hostess and she chose tahitian tide, orchid oasis and parakeet party for her color trio. Dessert option this week is birthday.
For my birthday card, I started with the card base. It's from a 2016 Paper Pumpkin Kit. I added a piece of orchid oasis behind the white panel for definition. An orange crimped panel came with the kit.
From there I cut my balloons in the challenge colors. I used designer paper from the Stampin' Up in-color glimmer paper" collection for the bottom 3 balloons. For the top 2 balloons I used a parakeet party dsp and the tahitian tide balloon is cut in the same cardstock and stamped to add some texture.
I cut the birthday phrase in orchid oasis cardstock for the shadow and orchid oasis glimmer paper for the birthday word. The glimmer paper is an ombre paper so I used the lighter shade for contrast.
That's my sample for this week. I hope you can play along with us. Chris has chosen some bright colors for your card making designs.

I love the way you repurpose elements from past Paper Pumpkin kits, Mary. This little bear looks so happy to be bringing birthday wishes to the recipient. Love all the slight variations in the balloons, sparkle and shading!

Beary sweet birthday card, Mary. Love the lattice background and the layered sentiment. The balloons are so cute and the bear is adorable. Your card must sparkle beautifully. Beautifully done in the challenge colors.
