It's Thursday and time for the Create with Connie and Mary weekly challenge! We have a FUN sketch challenge for you to try this week, so grab your stamps and play along!
I pulled out the new catty set, You're Amazing, to make my card!
The base of my card is Riding Hood Red. I added the ticket print pattern from World Spectacular Designer Paper, rounded one of the corners, and layered the blue check from the same package on top. I stamped Happy Birthday from You're Amazing on Whisper White with Riding Hood Red and Pacific Point markers. I cut it with the Apothecary Accents Framelits and used the Paper Piercing Tool to run a line of piercing around it.
I inked up the balloon stamp in You're Amazing with Riding Hood Red, Pacific Point and Daffodil Delight Markers…then made the balloon 3D…did you notice? I did it by folding three of the stamped balloons and adhering them back to back. It's popped up on the front of the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. Finally, I stamped the little ticket twice with Daffodil Delight and cut them out to place under the Happy Birthday greeting!

Such a FUN card! I love these colors together and what a great way to make the balloon! Love it!
This is a fun set…I didn't think I would like it at first, but playing with the MnTs at convention turned my mind around. I really like that your popped the Hot Air balloon out….very cute card!
Fun, fun, fun! And I LOVE the 3D balloon! What a fantastic idea!
This card so reminds me of the "Crown of Maine Balloon Fest" that Dave and I attended last night. It was awesome and so is your card!
Great card! I love the colors. That stamp set didn't intrigue me, but I have seen some cute things with it and it is growing on me. Love the way you did the balloon.
Love the 3d balloon! Such a fun card!
That little hot air balloon is so adorable and the little tickets are such a perfect addition to your layers!
Your card is so cute! I love the 3d balloon and the little tickets. What a great way to use those!
