We've got a new challenge for you at Seize The Birthday, and our theme is Balloons. I went with the balloon stencil by Neat & Tangled, and a sentiment from Altenew. I used Distress inks in masculine shades to sponge the balloons, and added strings with with a fineliner. I'm always short of masculine cards - must make more!
Our surprise party guest is Linda Snodgrass - pop on over and give her some bloggy love, and don't forget to take a look at the Seize The Birthday blog for some more fabulous inspiration from the team. Then all that's left is for you to play along with us!
This is gorgeous, Shirley. What a fab theme, Jo x
