I made this card some time ago and never posted it, so today it gets it's outing. It's done in my favorite colors of purple and was put together with mostly bits from my box of snippets. The embossed frame was a gift from someone and the birthday sentiment was made with a Kat Scrappiness die. The balloons were done with a Martha Stewart punch and I added bits of twine to them while the final touch was a few lavender gemstones.
I'm sharing this over at the Word Power #2 challenge where the sentiment is the focus of your card.
Thanks for stopping by and I wish you a great weekend!
