I wanted a birthday card with some >POP!<, so decided on a bunch of balloons.
This great card sketch is from Vera. Thanks!
I like the Bashful Blue and Real Red together: the red emboldens the blue, and the blue moderates the red. It was natural to add the red twine strings, but I needed to use a "Large" envelope instead of the normal "Medium."
I like using as many stamps as possible from sets like this, so incorporated the "happy birthday" sentiment on the envelope flap and the present image on the front, using both colors for each. A little extra time in creation helps the card start giving even before it reaches the birthday girl!
