I die cut the balloons from white cs, embossed the little stars in white, then sponged them - trying to create an ombre look. Spritzed the balloons with shimmer spritz (what would I do without this stuff?), die cut the strings and bows, used masking to get the 2 colors on the sentiment and assembled. I love fun cards like this and bonus – totally flat for easy mailing!

Love the colors of your balloons against the black dotted DP, Maura. The triple stars as highlights are pretty as well as creative. A delightful CAS card.

Definitely one of those cards that makes you smile Maura... I love the contrast between your background and the balloons. This would also work for Simon Says Stamp Wed challenge for anything goes.

I love how you colored those balloons. The black and white strip on the side is wonderful, and your interpretation of that gorgeous table and balloons is fab!!!
