This is for Kia's CAS Challenge - use balloons with a bit of sparkle and for Maura's Color Challenge - Curry Pumpkin Turquoise with dessert - treats of summer. This Stampendous stamp was a long-time favorite and fit both challenges nicely. When I used this stamp years ago, I would often heat emboss the image in silver so I did that today (hard to capture in my photo). For sparkle, I used shimmery cardstock, glitter on the balloon highlight spots and turquoise rhinestones around the balloon strings. Growing up, there were three kids in my family who all had summer birthdays. My mother went crazy planning & hosting birthday parties every few weeks on a limited budget. Somehow she always managed to have cake, ice cream, balloons, games, and friends. This card represents those summer birthday treats. Happy Summer Birthday Kia! Thanks for looking!

This is so pretty, I love the way you colored your balloons. I have this stamp and need to use it more often. Lovely font on the b-day sentiment.
