Used the Big Balloon Stencil to fill my card front with balloons. In order to make sure I only got ink through the balloon opening, I masked around the balloon that I was working on with large post-its placed over the stencil. Sponged with an ombre style - this didn't stay as pronounced as I wanted - but I still like it! Added balloon strings with a permanent marker. Splattered with water droplets, absorbed with a paper towel, and then spritzed with shimmer spritz - giving the whole card front a shimmery look! Die cut the "celebrate" once in black, once in white - then layered so that just a wee bit of black would show. Adhered to card front and added enamel dots for some "pop"!

This is fabulous! Love the water droplets to add interest and textures, and the shadow sentiment is perfect. Thank you for joining Sunday Stamps this week.

Nice to back to seeing the Gallery and getting my regular "Maura fix." This is such a great card - could see doing a set of them with varying colors of balloons.
