JAI # 281: STAMPIN' UP! BALLOON BASH FOR ETHAN'S BIRTHDAY

Di has suggested that we use our 3 favourite colours on a papercraft project, for this week's Just Add Ink challenge.

Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake are hands down my go-to colours; I have teamed them with Lost Lagoon, to make a card for my "baby", who turned 15 last weekend.  I love stars, and balloons, for boy cards.  The white-embossed Brushstrokes image, on Cherry Cobbler card, looks to me to be a bit "circus-y".  Whilst I don't like the circus, I do like the stripy tents!  The 'twine' that is laid across the card is actually strands pulled loose from Stampin' Up!'s wide burlap ribbon; I love the rustic look it provides.  I didn't have any Cherry Cobbler candy dots left, so I used one of my Blendabilities to colour a White Perfect Accent.

Here's Ethan's card:
