More new goodies from Stampin' Up! that I got as a birthday present from ME ;) This is the Lift Me Up bundle of stamps and Framelits, plus the coordinating patterned paper in the Sale-A-Bration catalog. The inside of the card has the birthday sentiment from the same stamp set (Hope your day is on cloud nine. Happy Birthday). Anyway, the gang at As You See It is back after having their website hacked, so I wanted to play along in their first challenge of the year:
And I added some wee pearls to my balloons, so I can enter this in the current Cupcake Inspirations Challenge as well:
One of my bestest buddies has a birthday in a couple of days so I'll be sending this along to her in the mail tomorrow. But for right now, my sweetie pie just got home so we're going out to dinner for my birthday. Cheers, y'all!
Supplies, all SU!

Ink: Mint Macaron, Island Indigo, Rich Razzleberry
Paper: Mint Macaron, Island Indigo, Thick Whisper White, Carried Away DSP, Rich Razzleberry DSP

Christy Lynn, Happy Birthday to you! And so happy to see you back at As You See It Challenges again! You picked some winners for your birthday presents for sure and you've really used them well for this sketch. I like the way your sparkly die cut clouds blend so nicely with the DSP and how well the colours you've chosen harmonize! The little pearls on the balloons are a nice touch! Thanks for playing along with As You See It Challenges again!
ReplyDeleteWell done you for finding the energy for crafting while pregnant! You've chosen a great birthday present for yourself - I love this set too. You've made great use of it. I like the boldly coloured balloons and the way the pearls echo the dotty/snowy background of the papers. Thanks so much for making the time to join us again at As You See It for our first challenge back.
