Balloon Trio

It's time for another challenge at Freshly Made Sketches and this week our hostess is Cindy Lovell, all the way from Germany.  Cindy has a wonderful style and I love the way she combines different elements on her cards.  Here's the sketch for this week:

I love circle elements on cards, so I was excited to see this sketch.  

I decided early on to use my new SSS balloon dies for this card and I also wanted to use my Winnie & Walter set again.  Then I saw the colors in the W&W logo and the final piece came together - my color scheme of orange, pink, yellow, green and blue - not a complete match to the logo but close enough.

I cut the big balloon from Old Olive DSP and the smaller balloons from Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight and Melon Mambo cardstock.  I tied black twine around all the balloons after stamping some images from Big Bang Confetti on the smaller balloons.

The word "happy" was embossed with Pool Party EP then the "birthday" stamped under it in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Thanks for looking.  If you haven't already, be sure to visit the FMS blog and check out the inspiration from the rest of the design team.
