MFT Color Challenge #13

Hi everyone!  This is my first time participating in MFT's Color Challenge and this one was so fun, involving some of my favorite colors!

When I look at these colors I think of two words....Happy......and Birthday!  So I decided to use a new stamp set that I just got in the mail today to whip up a birthday card.  I started by diecutting a couple of the balloons out of the cardbase and inset them by raising the base up with dimensional tape.   I thought it added a little more interest to the card.  I stamped the  fun confetti background with some random stamps from a couple stamp sets.


For this card I used the following supplies from:
Celebrate Big stamp set
Party Balloons stamp set
Party Balloons dies

Balloon Strings die
Stitched Mats; Rectangles

Confetti stamp set

Hero Arts Shadow Ink:  Pale Tomato, Tide Pool, Butter Bar and Green Hills.

Unfortunately I don't have these particular ink colors yet so I had to wing it as close as I could using some of my Hero Arts Shadow Inks.  I really want to say though,  I am so happy with my new Party Balloons stamp and die sets from My Favorite Things.    I was pleasangly surprised to see how big that stamp set is.  You really get a lot of bang for your buck!  The actual stamps come on an 
8"x 6" sheet and the largest balloons are 2" tall.  I don't think I've ever bought a stamp set that was so big.  I took this picture just to show you.  The card I made is A2 size (4.25 x 5.5").  It looks little next to that big set of stamps.  I really love it so much  and I just know I'll be using it a lot for my birthday cards.

Thanks for stopping by!
