For the F4 challenge, things that go pop, I think balloons will qualify, lol. (Actually I KNOW they will. One year hubs brought me some balloons for Valentine's Day & he got home before I did. When he presented them to me, they were all popped. He told me he didn't tie them down very well & they got caught in the ceiling fan.) And for the MIX, I have 2 coral balloons & some pinks like one of the bonus colors.
My card is pretty easy..I used a few heart dies to cut a reverse mask & used it to generally outline the shape of the hearts then watercolored the inside of them. I drew the little strings w/ a white Posca pen & a lt gray marker then added the greeting & few punched silver glitter hearts.
Thanks so much for looking. Closeups, the inside & product links are on my blog: The Write Stuff

What a wonderfully created card, Julie! And I agree with the above poster, those ballon strings are indeed realistic. Cute story about the popped balloons....

I really am digging the cut frame for this card..and the softness of the balloons. We all know it's like to lose one when they pop! Loud and kids usually start crying!

Julie, I love the heart balloons, especially with the little silver hearts that look like charms! The script sentiment is a fabulous match to the balloons, too.
I adored your Valentine story, your hubby is so very sweet!
