1) Today's Ways to Use It Challenge, WT263, Let's Celebrate: to create a birthday card or layout, a gift, an invitation in honor of the WT Challenge's 5th birthday!
While sewing this morning, I came across a bag of trim scraps that I'd completely forgotten about. When I saw this little bit of beaded ribbon trim (complete with iridescent spangles!), I knew it would be perfect for the StampinB's purple, green, and yellow card!
The heart-shaped balloon is from an old limited edition TAC set. I masked and stamped it 3 times. I colored the balloons using the gamsol magic technique with colored pencils.
I'm pleased with this bright birthday card to add to my collection! Happy Birthday, Ways to Use It Challenge!!
Thanks for stopping by,
Emily
