Birthday Balloons - Stampin' Up! Beautiful Balloons

   I started this card earlier in the week and finally found time to finish it yesterday.  I really need to get my butt in gear creating samples for my upcoming New Catalog Open House event and when I saw the sketch challenge at The Paper Players I thought it would be perfect with the soon to be released Beautiful Balloons stamp set.

  Looking at the finished product I think it might be a tab busy with with all the colors and background pattern but I certainly had fun playing around and trying out so many new products!  All of these will be available to order starting May 2.

  The background is from a 6x6 DSP pack called Bright & Beautiful.  It highlights 10 of the 11 new Stampin' Up! colors (or re-releasing with former In Colors returning).  

  To follow the sketch I embossed the curved sentiment onto a die cut circle in Berry Burst and then layered 3 fringed pieces of card stock made with the fringe die in the Beautiful Balloons dies.  Next I added 3 balloons and strings. 

  The final thing to finish the sketch is the sentiment stamped in Blueberry Bushel under the fringe.

  I'm excited about all the celebration possibilities with the Beautiful balloons bundle; birthdays, new babies, graduations, work promotions really anything you want to celebrate!

  Remember it's all available in my online store starting on May 2.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
