Birthday Breeze
I am so completely thrilled to show you some new cards using the Balloon Celebration stamp set - I don't think it's any secret around here that this is hands-down my FAVORITE set from the catty!  I've been trying to hold myself back so you guys don't get sick of seeing it here so much, lol.  Anyway, I knew I really needed to try my hand at the gorgeous wispy dandelion seeds included - I've been so focused on the balloons!  I wanted to get the cobwebs out and just go for it - so here we are.  I'm slightly worried that it's too

simple - but it's just so perfect, and has so much movement, I couldn't help myself.  A great warm-up, at least!
Balloon Celebration Stamp Set; Watercolor Paper; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Pear Pizzazz, Soft Sky & Blushing Bride Markers, with Spritzer; Basic Jewel Rhinestones.

Citrus Thanks
I still have some elements I haven't touched that I needed to ink up!  What to do with the little wheel-like element, or the little tribal dots?  Go citrus, of course!  I can't lie, these colors are totally inspired by this tasty card from Becky Roberts of Inking Idaho fame!  Juicy!  I had to take those colors out for a spin myself, and this is what I landed on - love this one, too!  The bright colors called out to this

sweet sentiment from Me = Grateful, and I once again got to have a little something to say on the inside, too.  What a perfect match!
