Good Sunday morning all! It's celebration time!
I started with a piece of coconut white card and used the Dotty Streamers die with the straight sides to cut into the card on both sides. I went into my crafty background stash and pulled out a piece of caught in crystal that I made awhile ago. On to a piece of acetate, I used blue and green crystal tints with some added holographic glitter and scrunched up some tissue paper to put over the back of it. After it is dry you can use it behind dies or die cut it, both of which I have done here. I cut out three of the balloons from the Dotty Balloon die set and added clear Cosmic Lacquer over the top to give them a shiny look. I attached the "strings" using a couple of the different dies in the set and added the balloons to the centre of the card. I cut the Hip Hip Hooray die out of the centre of the caught in crystal piece and added it to another one cut in white, then glued it to the bottom of the card. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now. Sue x

Good morning Sue
A quick visit before I go to work to say what a pretty card! What a great idea keeping a box of backgrounds, I do have a scrap box but not backgrounds because I tend to use them straight away when they are dry.
