Celebrate - It's Your Big Day!

I've got a sunny treat for you today... if you love rainbows, bright colors, and lots of sparkle and shine you're going to love this project. 

I'm playing along with Freshly Made Sketches. I love a sketch challenge... I made a few changes... the square becomes a star, and the circle becomes a balloon. See what I mean?

I started by stamping the dot border from Pretty Pink Posh Sparkle Dot Patterns in a rainbow of colors on a panel of card stock. I used a stamping tool to keep things lined up perfectly. 

When the panel was finished it was rather narrow and wouldn't fill the card base. I decided to create a background mimicking the stamped colors with strips of colorful card stock. 

I stamped a sentiment from Everyday Greetings on the star. I stamped the balloon on pink card stock. The Sparkle Dot Patterns stamp set is a series of circles that are designed to help align gems and sequins to create patterns. I applied jewels with Ranger Multi Matt Medium adhesive for a strong hold. When it was dry the balloon was fussy cut by hand. 

A bit of twine for the balloon string and a sprinkle of more colorful gems finishes off this cheerful card.

Thanks for stopping by and have a terrific weekend!
