This was actually the first "balloon" card I made a couple of weeks ago and then put it aside until I could make more, which I finally did. I love the simplicity of this and I remember seeing it on someone's blog or Pinterest post, but I'm afraid I don't remember now who it was. If it was you, please let me know so I can give credit.
This was the first card I made tonight (Friday) for posting and decided to make it a little more fun by making the statement "happy age awareness day" instead of "happy birthday". When you see inside, there's a perfect sentiment to match!
After making the Calypso Coral and the Real Red ones, I felt like something was missing and decided to decorate the balloon's surface with a swirly stamp from the same stamp set and to drop the balloon down a bit, so it had a bit of a mat to it. Much better, don't you think?
Here's another one in Rose Red. I wish the colors would show up better on the computer, but you get the idea and if you know your Stampin' Up! colors, you know how beautiful they are!
Here's a close up of the Rose Red. One of my favorite colors.
HERE is the inside sentiment, and honestly, there is a couple of good ones in this stamp set that can make for some funny cards. I don't know about you, but I'm always looking for FUN cards with silly sentiments. My best card purchasing customer is the same and I have several I need to make up this weekend for her, so a couple of these will be perfect!
Thank you for looking in today. I hope you have a fabulous weekend!
