L ove the artsy style of this Birthday card inspired by Aly Schilling. The Celebrate Today stamp set is so versatile. I used the Balloon Framelits and a Big Shot to create the top layer and the sentiment is from the Celebrate Today stamp set. Gorgeous Grunge and a beautiful color combination combine to make a fabulous statement card! A little glitter paper and the silver ribbon pulled from the Silver Baker's Twine twisted under the glitter star adds just the right amount of glimmer to the balloons.
Project Recipe
Use the Cut and Ready Card Bases or a piece of Whisper White Card Stock which you will score at 81/4. Fold the Whisper White Card Stock in half with a Bone Folder.
Using your Big Shot and the magnetic platform, run your Whisper White Card Stock through twice. The first time with the balloon framelit off the edge a bit and the second towards the top as in the photograph.

Stamp the balloon string image in Smoky Slate Ink at the bottom of the balloon.
Stamp the splatter image on the Whisper White Card Stock base in Old Olive, Crushed Curry, Tempting Turquoise and Strawberry Slush Ink in the areas that you will see through the balloons. Remember to clean your stamp between images.
Adhere the Whisper White die cut layer to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Stamp the sentiments Happy and Birthday in Smoky Slate Ink on the strip of Whisper White Card stock. Use the Banner Punch to dove tail the end on the right side. Attach to the card with Dimensionals.
Punch two stars from the Silver Glimmer Paper.
Pull the Silver Thread out of the Silver Baker's Twine. Cut it into two pieces and loop up each randomly and adhere it behind each of the stars with Mini Glue Dots. Add additional Mini Glue Dots and stick the stars to the card.
