Birthday Balloon

If I need a jumpstart to my creativity, I find the quickest way, is to go to one of the many cards I have pinned on Pinterest. Either I make it exactly the same or I change it up a little. Once I've made one, I find more ideas flow from that.

Going back awhile, I was so inspired by Amber Rain Davis' card using the Altenew Whimsical Herringbone stamp.

So I made a very similar one, but I used more masculine colours and instead of the die cut sentiment, I stamped.



Now I was left with the tiny strip leftover.

I rather like CAS cards and wondered how to use it. Fitted perfectly into the gap in the striped stamp from the Tie Dye set (I bought it for those little stripes!!)

Added a balloon, a sentiment and liquid pearl dots. Voila!
