Friends Uplift The Soul

Today I'm sharing an image from the new release from Polkadoodles 'Autumn Fall Halloween Treats' package. 

For this Hot Air Balloon Pumpkin image I decided to make a birthday card.

 I sized the balloon to about 4" tall and used Copic markers for coloring,  After cutting it out, I carefully colored the white edges with the lightest shade of green so it would blend better when mounted. 

I cut the card base out of coordinating dark green card stock and used an Anna Griffin embossing folder to get the textured background paper.  I also added a layer of foam behind the balloon before securing it in the center of the card base.  The sentiment was taken from Polkadoodles Honeypie Greetings and then mounted on a lighter shade of green strip across the bottom of the card front.  Lastly I added the mint green organza ribbon and bow at the fold to complete the card design. 

Happy Birthday Jackie B!
