Wishing You a Wonderful Day

Hello there!

Just stopping by to share a card with you...

I combined two challenges...

I grabbed the perfect bunch of balloons...Paper Sweeties, Happy Cake Day.  I used black ink from Memento and Copic Markers to color.  I added some Martha Stewart glitter to the balloons in coodinating colors. 

The sentiment is from Paper Sweeties, Wishing You.  I used watercolor cardstock and a rectangle stitched die from Lil'Inker Designs. I added a tiny twine bow.
