Wishing You Everything Wonderful Balloons Bouquet

I really liked the color combination on the previous card and decided to use the same pink inks on this balloon bouquet from Papertrey Ink.

I had some leftover gray and white polka dot paper sitting on my desk. I cut it down using a scalloped rectangle die and adhered it to a top folding cardbase with dotliner adhesive.

I cut the base of the balloon bouquet from white cardstock all all the individual balloon. I didn't want the same hue of color next to one another so I stratically determine which color could go where and then adhered them in place with liquid glue.

A first I added Ranger Crystal Stickles to the entire bouquet but really didn't like the way that looked, so I cut the individual balloons again, ink blended them again and only added stickles to the darkest pink balloons. These balloons wer adhered in place with low loft foam sqaures, the rest were adhered with liquid glue.

The sentiment was stamped with the darkest pink ink and cut out using the coordinating die. It was adhered over the balloon strings by add thin strips of foam tape, leaving an opening to go over the strings and keep everything level.

At the last minute I decided to add some graphic shapes to the balloons with a white gelly roll pen. I like the way it turned out.

Pink sequins were scattered around the balloons and Crystal Stickles were added to the sequin centers.
