I loved the colors they are playing with over at The Color Hues Challenge; Teal and Orange. But I can't say that I feel terribly successful with my attempt lol! But I used a mix of current and retired products so it's always a win to use something that was tucked away for a "just in case" situation!
This one starts with a Basic White thick card base. Then I die cut a piece of retired Enjoy the Journey DSP with the newer Patchwork Pieces dies. I put the pieces back together onto a slightly larger piece of Basic Black.
Using the Beautiful Balloon dies and some retired Bermuda Bay Glimmer paper I cut a balloon and popped it with dimensionals on the card front. I added a black bakers twine string and a tag stamped with a sentiment from the retired Itty Bitty Birthdays set. A few matte black dots are added just because I didn't know where else to go with this one lol! Sometimes you've just got to call it when it seems finished even if you don't feel that it is finished!
All of the current products used to make this card can be found in my ONLINE STORE.
Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today?

It's a great CAS birthday card! I don't think it needed anything else. The glittery balloon just pops off the orange background with the subtle texture. Thanks for joining us at Color Hues!
