Happy Birthday balloons

I finished this card this afternoon for my penpal Kia, I'm sure she will like this for her birthday coming up! I'm also going to enter it into the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge (Challenge Me Monday #99) this week! and the Cardz TV anything goes challenge

I cut the card from Wild Cards, I like the circle scalloped shape. I then cut a striped circle and also an orange one but cut some of the orange off for the bottom. I ran that through my Cuttlebug with the Swiss dots folder. I used the Celebrations cartridge to cut out the balloons and used my Peachy Keen face stamps to stamp on the cute little faces. I added twine for the balloon strings and some really nice striped ribbon across the join and also as a tie around the twine. I used a Hero Arts set of stamps I've had for ages to stamp the greeting and used some white gel pen to accent the eyes and make faux stitching on the balloons.
