Birthday Balloons
I picked out 3 sheets of very old Penny Black cardstock I've been hoarding. It came in sets of 3 shades of each color and I picked 2 yellows and a blue because of Color Hues June 1 challenge. I got Birch Press Floral Balloon dies in a recent sale and had fun putting them together. Unfortunately, I couldn't come up with a card and missed that challenge along with a couple others. Finally, a couple days ago I got this card made, using a couple old Penny Black balloon dies, a PTI bow die and a sentiment from Poppystamps Hope and Thanks stamped in Altenew Persian Blue. 
The yellow flowers and the light yellow behind the negative balloon spaces were covered with a shimmer pen--so pretty in person. The bow is covered with glaze and I added little yellow gems from my stash. I'm entering Poppystamps and WAW.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
