Birthday Balloon

For my Big Blog Candy Giveaway, click HERE.


I have a birthday card to share today. It is based on the current sketch challenge at Peachy Keen Stamps (Sketch 61). The background paper is from KI Memories. I used my Sew Easy for the two lines of embroidery floss on the left edge. The color is Twilight glitter floss. It is hard to tell from the photo, but it is really sparkly. The balloon is a sticker from EK Success. I drew in the balloon string and the pen stitching with my white Sakura Gelly Roll pen. The Happy Birthday sentiment is a stamp from Katie & Co. (I think it came from the $1 bin at one of the chain craft stores). I stamped it with white pigment ink and then embossed it with clear glitter embossing powder. Finally, I added some blue gems with my i-rock. And I didn't use my cutter at all! Can you believe it?






Challenges:

* Peachy Keen Stamps (Sketch Challenge 61)
* Celebrate the Occasion (Challenge #31: Birthday - Must Use Balloons)
* Party Time Tuesdays (Challenge #34: Monochromatic)
* Sparkles Forum Challenges (Challenge #21: Something that Sparkles)
