I recently joined the SCS Fan Club and this is the first time I am playing one of their Challenges - in this case, the January Challenge and have uploaded 2 cards to play the Challenge..
I stamped the image twice, then cut out just the balloons and popped them up on mounts (dimensionals). I coloured the image with Derwent Coloursoft and Prismacolor pencils + OMS. I added some fine crystal glitter to the highlights on the balloons, plus the coloured dots around the strings. I decided to underline the sentiment with my red and yellow pencils because it seemed a little "lost" and I wanted to draw your eye to it.
The blue border was diecut with my Cuttlebug and one of the border dies from my NEW Nellie Snellen border set MFD-023. I added a Scor-Pal line above the border then ran the blue cs through my Cuttlebug using the Swiss dots ef. Lastly, I corner-punched the top and bottom corners of the white cs. The ribbon was attached in 2 separate elements and the bow itself was made with my Bow Easy.

I love your card. I have this stamp and have never used it. Thank you for the inspiration. I love how you stamped it twice. it gives it a shadow in the back.
