I did this for this week's Mix-ability sketch challenge and for last week's F4A Balloon challenge, because I looked at the wrong one this morning! LOL I really liked Dini's sketch. I had a difficult time matching colors from different companies! But this is close as I could get. The background piece is watercolor paper with color bursts. The balloons are colored with SU old alcohol markers except the red which is a Copic. At least the coastal cobana cs and ink match. And it really looks better IRL. The balloon image is one I bought at a stamp show years ago, and It was in my pile for on the way out the door, but now I think you always need a balloon image. Maybe I will keep it, at least I have used it once now!
Thanks for looking.

Wonderful background, Sharon. It's like a soft sky with a sunburst in the corner. I think you should keep the balloon stamp, they are always great for birthdays.

I think you did a great job matching up the colors. The colorbursts background makes the card nice and colorful. Your balloon stamp is a good one if it has the three balloons all stamped at once. Saves on masking...
