Today's TLC & CAS challenges were in starting point - TLC - Spell It Out by KellyJean & CAS - Balloons by Kia.
And I added inspiration from yesterday's FS challenge. I tried several times to do the watercolor background by Kelly seen here without success. I think my w/c paper is too cheap; it just does not work. So I just stamped grunge. I die cut the balloon yesterday & added it with little slivers of pop-dots. Inside I used the upper case alphabet for BIRTHDAY & stamped 'eat all the cake' from Birthday Banners.
Once I got going, this was fun to do. I guess it's really not so CAS ...
Thanks for stopping by.
Oops! I see I didn't read all the directions for the TLC ... we were to use alphabet stamps. Sorry.

Wonderful b'day card, Karen, with that beautiful, lacy die cut hot air balloon. Your spattered colors make a wonderful bg. Great card for both challenges.
