Happy Saturday!
Today we have a VERY special sponsor to kick of the New Year over at the Crazy blog!!! Our sponsor is My Favorite Things!!! I LOVE MFT!!!
Our challenge this week is to make a child's Birthday card. Well, this works out perfectly for me because my daughter is going to a friends Birthday party tomorrow so this will be her card!
I didn't put the sentiment on the front because I didn't know where to put it!!! LOL!!! The base is Select White with a mat of True Black and then Select White again. I used MFT's Flat Bottom Cloud dies to cut the clouds out and then added a piece of decorative paper from MME. I have no idea which line it is from because it was laying on my desk and matched really well!! I stamped the beautiful balloon from MFT's Up, Up and Away set using Black Memento ink on a scrap piece of Select White, colored with my Copics and cut it out. I stamped it again directly on the panel, colored the lower basket and then adhered the colored balloon. I added some green felt I got from MFT a while back and some orange & white twine.

I actually love it without the "sentiment"! So simple, it's a refreshing change from all the busy cards I see so often. Great job!
