Birthday Balloon

I seem to be getting the hang of these die cuts now ... another one that has been in my stash for a couple of months that I'm finally getting to use.


After distressing my balloon in blues to create the ombre effect, I gave a good spritz of Perfect Pearls to give a lovely shimmer like a metallic balloon.


For Retrosketch Challenge
