Balloon Birthday

Hi and welcome back to Fusion Card Challenge!  After a long break, we're back and raring to go and with some new faces as well!  Check out our new look and new challenge:

I went with the sketch this time but did pull a few elements from the photo - predominantly the green and black colors.  I had some fun with alchohol inks and created a beautiful panel using some soft and pale colors.  I've had alcohol inks for years and years and doing the recent Creative Chemistry course has re-activated my interest in this medium.

My card is pretty self-explanatory.  I used some stitched dies to frame the inked piece and die-cut a balloon and sponged the left hand side for some dimension.  The sentiment is white embossed and comes from the MFT set The Whole Herd - I think this is one of my favorite birthday sentiment stamps.

Thanks for visiting.  Check out what the rest of the DT have created for this challenge by clicking on their names below.
