For my card, I punched out a bunch of scrap paper with a balloon punch and layered them 4 high. I then glued them to the card stock.
Next, I painted white acrylic paint over the balloons. Once dry I watered down white acrylic paint and painted a thin layer of the white over the red.
I then die cut the congratulations 3 times out of black card stock and glued on the card front. The card was then finished with the sticker graduation cap and a few scattered black gems.
I would love it if you would check out my Blog: Shoe Girls Cards.
Thank you for looking!

Love how layered this is, Lisa, and of course all the RED gave me a big smile.

Like what you did here with the stacking of the balloons dies. I know this picture does not do it total justice; the texture must be awesome IRL. Fantastic card. Fav'd
