Balloons were the first thing that came to mind when I saw the sketch challenge at
Clean and Simple Stamping. I started by punching several small balloons with an EK Success punch from scrap pieces of cardstock. Since I didn't have any larger punches, I cut the remaining balloons by hand and layered all the balloons onto a cloudy background that I created with blue chalk and an eraser. I also used an eraser to "write" Happy Birthday. I matted the balloons and clouds onto dark blue cardstock and used a white card base.

Hi Brenda. This is one very creative and beautiful card. I'm glad that I saw it. You did a fabulous job thinking out of he box like this.

I love the balloons blowing away and the "happy birthday" through the clouds. It's a very nice card.
