This is for both the sketch challenge as well as this week's Alphabet Challenge. The Alphabet Challenge is embossing and this card has both dry and heat embossing on it.
Using the sketch challenge, I dry embossed the background with the birthday ef and then dragged the Smoky Slate inkpad across the embossing.
I die cut the balloons and then stamped some texture on them adding baker's twine to all three; they are attached at different levels with foam tape or squares. I added blue ribbon across the bottom, heat embossed the sentiment and popped it up.
Thanks for the challenges and thanks for looking!

I have this ef. (garage sale find) and don't think I have used it yet! Love the smoky slate coloring you used on it. Goes perfectly with your balloon colors. The sentiment in orange was a great choice. Wonderful for E and the sketch challenge!
