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 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 - I often do this to just "finish" the edge before I attach it to the rest of a card. Lastly, I corner-punched the top corners of the white cardstock. I thought about adding a ribbon, but in the end decided to keep things simple.
