This card is for yesterday's color challenge and I used today's sketch challenge (modified to be A2 size) to make this card for today's Alphabet challenge letter I for inflatables. I went with balloons.
I ink blended the three colors on my panel and then used the layered balloon stencil (I only used one layer on this panel) to create my background panel.
Using my Misti, I repeat stamped Happy down the side of the panel. I die cut my white circle and then stamped the sentiment on it adding my layered candles afterwards. I matted this with a black circle and popped it up on foam tape.
This was a fun card to make. Thanks for the challenges and thanks for looking!

Cute! Love how you used the colors and blended them for a lovely, balloon-filled background. The big words down the side look great, as does the circle. Well done with both challenges for a super birthday card, Catherine!

Love this BG too. I do love the overlapping balloons on the other one. The black Happy seems to pop a little more on this one. Not sure which one I like best. Both are fabulous.
