Happiest Wishes

Hello all! I have a new card to share today! This one was inspired by a couple of challenges. First up is the card sketch from Stick It Down:

I was also inspired by the board at Tic Tac Toe Challenge:

I used the bottom row from the chart: Alphabet, Birthday, and Enamel Dots. I started my card by stamping just the balloons from the Simon Says Stamp Happiest Wishes Stamp set with Versamark Ink on watercolor paper. Then I heat embossed them with black powder. I then used watercolors to paint the balloons different colors. While those dried, I stamped, heat embossed and painted the little puppy hanging from the green balloon on some scrap watercolor paper. I fussy cut that once it was dry and attached it to my card front with foam tape. I used some "enamel dots"- the big ones are melted Perler Beads and the small ones are leftover gems from Diamond Art. I then went through my stash and found number stickers that matched the colors of my balloons and added "5's" to some of the balloons since this is for my nephew's 5th birthday. I finished by attaching the panel to an orange card.

 Thanks for stopping by to check out my card!
