Thank you Emily, for hosting another great Color Challenge! This was a good one, esp for my huggie dragon! I needed a "missed your birthday" type of card, so I thought of this guy, that I could do in green and pink!
I wanted it to look like he was too late for the party, and all the balloons had lost their lift and were just lying on the floor.
I hand wrote the saying at the top.
Colored entirely with Tombow pens and spread with water.
There is glitter on his pink wings (photo doesn't show).
I did the holes in the green card front using different sized bits in my paper drill. Then dotted around them with a pink gel pen. Fun to do and I love the effect! The pink showing through the holes is a folded pink sheet of paper that I used as a sleeve for the writing on the inside of the card. I love how it made it kind of sort of look like flowers!
I gave the balloons some dimension using glue dots.

TFL!

OH My Gosh! This card could not be any cuter! Way to go! I love the Dragon where did you get him??
The pinks and greens look so good together!
Wonderfully creative!
This is my first time to play in the color challenge, and it has just been so much fun!
