Big Balloon

I was browsing Pinterest one day and came across a CAS card that I thought would be really easy to reproduce.  Here is the card on Pinterest:


Here is my version:

My card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4," and made from a turquoise card stock.  I cut a white mat at 5 1/4"x4."  The balloon is from the "Create a Critter" cartridge.  It is on page 30 of the handbook, I used the layer 1 (shift) function and cut it at 5."  I tied a piece of turquoise baker's twine around the base of the balloon; I then placed it where I wanted it on my card and trimmed off the rest.  I glued down the tail end of the twine and finished off the front of the card with a sentiment from Paper Smooches, the Birthday Sampler set.



Here is the inside of my card:

I cut a piece of pink card stock at 5"x3 3/4" and some white card stock at 4 3/4"x3 1/2."  Both the sentiment and the balloon are from the Birthday Sampler set by Paper Smooches as well.  I drew in the string with a turquoise marker.  I used two colors of ink to get the color I wanted for the sentiment: bahama blue and turquoise gem.  The sentiment on the front and the balloon are stamped in rosebud ink.  All the ink is from Tsukineko.


I made this for the following challenges:

Color Throwdown: color challenge

Fantabulous Cricut: anything goes

The Friday Mashup: card with minimal layers, or CAS

CASology: cue word - "float"

Paper Smooches Sparks: anything goes
