Very Special Red Balloon

Overcast sky this morning so I went to my Happy Place and made a couple of cards.  This was after I chased my favorite deer off of the front porch as she happily munched on a "deer resistant" plant <sigh>.

Anyhoo, this card was put together for The Paper Players Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #306:

(3rd column down - masculine, red, die-cut)

And, I used the Freshly Made Sketches #248 for the layout:



Here's the stuff I used:
     Cardstock - Memory Box Graphite
     DSP - DCWV Neutrals
     Die Cuts - My Favorite Things Big Balloons
     Stamps - Stamps of Life (sentiment), My Favorite Things (HB Background)
     Ink:  VersaMark, Lawn Fawn Hippo, and Memento Lady Bug
     Other:  White & Clear Detail embossing powder

I'll also be linking this card up to the Live Love Card community challenge for August (Birthday cards).  Thanks much for stopping by!
