This card is for the Sketch and Mixed Media Challenges.
When I saw the Sketch challenge I remembered a card I had seen Jennifer McGuire create at least 2-3 years ago using a large balloon at the top of the card. I also had a piece of patterned CS staring at me that I had used to roll my brayer on when creating some gelli prints recently. I never throw a thing away and thought how can I use this bright CS.
I also like MM and when I saw today's challenge I wanted to have a go....3 colours and 2 mediums. Well the balloon has at least 5 or more colours on it so that one qualifies.
That's when the stencil came out and I'm adding texture paste, blue sparkly gel medium and whipped spackle. It looks a lot more effective IRL.
Balloon die cut using a floral circle...yep I have the actual die cut for another card one day, this was the negative...or positive depending on how you look at it.
Balloon added and twine. I decided to tie the bow to give more threads hanging down....for 2 reasons....one I had already put the tail on the balloon and secondly, I like bows. I also like to be different LOL.
Now where to add my sentiment. My brain kicked in and out came my wish die and cut in sparkly blue and plonked on the balloon. Splodges stamped and done.
Don't you like cards that come together quickly and meet 2 challenges. Never throw those scraps away ladies/men...you never know what you can use them for.
TFL. Happy day

Lovely card using the sketch and the scraps you've found, the balloon looks great in these colors, very pretty stenciling too, the sparkly wish is perfectly placed on the balloon
