Balloons for the Birthday Girl

As noted in the previous post, my Mom's b-day is also this month. I had another stamp set in mind (TGF's Susie Surprise which also features a gal holding balloons) but with my stash still so dissheveled, I couldn't locate it, so I started flipping through my mountain of printed digis. And there she was: Balloon Girl from the Flapper Doodle coloring book. Yes! This image is just perfect for my Mom!  Even though I used the same collection for last year's birthday card, I couldn't resist my beloved (and sadly almost gone) Crate Paper "Pink Plum" papers. I colored up my Flapper with Copics which was a joy, and then flipped through my dies to find just the right one to save me from having to try to trim around the uber thin lines of this image. Wonky Squares was just meant to be, I think. For the front sentiment, I kept it simple with letter stickers from Glitz. Since Mom is learning to text :)  I stuck to just the two.

This card came together quickly and just in time for our little family celebration.

Since I still have time, I'm entering this one into the Paper Playtime Challenge #84: Punches + a Sentiment as well.

Thanks for taking a gander. This will probably be it for me for the next few weeks, but I look forward to seeing you again in October with fall cards and decor. And maybe even a mini album :o

Blessings & Hugs to You!
