YAY...it's Your Birthday!

Good Morning
With lots of birthdays coming up, I was happy to play with 2 new for May stencils from A Colorful Life Designs. They helped me make a very festive, celebration style card. 
The stencils are called:

So, here's what I did.
  • I began by picking out some colours of Distress Oxide ink for my balloons. I placed the Floating Balloons stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked them up with these colours: Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry, Ripe Persimmon, Broken China and some Cracked Pistachio. 
HELPFUL TIP.....When I inked the balloons, I kept the ink to just the outer edges to add more dimension to the look.
  • When all the balloons were inked up, I removed the stencil and placed the Star Streamers down and inked again with the same colours as mentioned above.
  • For the sentiment, I looked through my scraps and found this piece done with some DOX ink on my Gel Plate and I used it to die cut the sentiment and glued that onto a white sentiment shadow.
  • I glued my card front panel onto a piece of pale blue cardstock and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
  • To finish my card off, I added the sentiment over the panel with some foam tape to help pop it up.

Here are the stencils I used:
