I couldn't believe it when I saw today's Ways to Use It challenge was balloons as I'd just uploaded this card to the SNSS website. I was inspired by a fab card by Laura Bassen on which she sponged balloons (I used a balloon die from SNSS Birthday Bash Dies) and I love the way that by careful sponging you can leave lighter areas, giving the effect of translucence. I penciled in the strings to make sure they were well placed before going over with a black fine line marker. The sentiment is from the newly released fab SNSS set, Birthday Word Art.
