Celebratory Balloons

Hi and welcome!  Today's card came about using the colors from Color Throwdown and the inspiration photo from Addicted to Stamps and More.  Because there are several bows on it, I'm also linking to 4 Crafty Chicks challenge.

I started my card by sponging a panel of Bristol Smooth cardstock with Peacock Feathers, Shaded Lilac and Victorian Velvet distress inks.  Once I'd finished, I spritzed some water over the top and let it soak in before soaking up the water with a paper towel.  I then die-cut the panel using the Park Avenue frame.  The frame portion was adhered with foam tape onto a white card base and the inside was stuck flat to the card base.  

I die-cut some vellum balloons and some black stings and bows and added them to the card.  The sentiment has 3 layers of white and one later of black,slightly offset.

I finished the card by coloring the balloons with clear sparkle pen for a lovely shimmer.  Thanks for visiting!
