Recently a very thoughtful friend surprised me with these heart-shaped balloon dies (thank you again) and I just love them! I had some snippets of polka dot papers on my table so I just used them to add some fun, colorful balloons to this birthday card. I used some purple cardstock along with a GMD set of dies to create the sentiment and used a CB birthday embossing folder. I added small bits of colored twines and some random gemstones to add a little festive sparkle to this card.
Sharing with these challenges:

Can you Handle the Pressure? - A/G using an embossing folder
with an optional twist of Things with Wings
Thanks for the visit and I wish you a wonderful weekend.

Love the fun heart shaped balloons and you've reminded me that I have that embossing folder sitting (unused for ages) in a box with too many others all of which should get an airing more often.
Super paper selection on these wonderful birthday balloons.
Oh wow I love this one with those colorful heart shaped balloons! The texture with the wording in the background is perfect for them and I love those added gems for the sparkle! Can never go wrong with a little sparkle!
