Happy Friday and a big huge happy birthday to Gina! Hope this coming year is filled with love, laughter, and happiness. You are an amazing human being and such an example of someone with class and grace. I am honor to be part of your design team and to call you a friend. Love and hugs sweetie!!!
Members from Gina's design team have come together to host a blog hop filled with birthday wishes, cards, and even some prizes. As you hop through make sure to leave comments because you could be a lucky winner of one of the many amazing prizes.
Here is the card I created for Gina.
I am in LOVE with the Darling Divas Collection by Debbie Corbari and by far this is my favorite! Along with Scooter Diva, I also used greetings from Lovely Ladybug by Beth Silaika and Birds and Blossoms by Theresa Momber.
I love mixing sentiments from different sets and although not the same font, it works. It gives it an extra fun detail to the card. I colored the image with Copics and for the balloon strings I used twine and instead of images of balloons I used buttons from the recently released Gina K. Designs Color Companions Button collection. As you will notice I also used a button instead of the "O" in the sentiment. This is also a fun thing to do with your buttons.
