Celebrate with balloons


A little while ago I saw a couple of cards that I wanted to CASE.
They are by crafters that I really admire so I hope they don't mind me CASing their work.

The first card was this gorgeous CAS card by Birgit.
The other one was this fun card by Karen at Made by Meadie.

I love both of these cards so thank you for the inspiration.

I'm also linking up to a few challenges:

AAA Cards wants us to use some gold.

I used snippets of gold glitter paper for the die cut sentiment so I'm visiting the playground at

It's an anything goes challenge at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday.
Simon Wednesday Challenge Blog

At Serendipity Stamps the theme is sparkle and shine, and you need to use one of their stamps or dies.

Supplies:
Serendipity Stamps Celebrate die; gold glitter paper; Paper Smooches balloon dies; Hero Arts tiny star background stamp; versamark & gold embossing powder; distress inks; gold cord.

Thanks for visiting,

    I think you did both Birgit and Karen proud. This is a gorgeous card. The sentiment is beautiful and the balloons are so pretty. Love that gold embossing on the sentiment and the balloons. The gold cord for strings is perfect.
