I have created 2 cards to celebrate this special occasion. For my first card, I used the Large Celebrate Shadow Die over a stenciled background. I die cut the word from bold gold glitter cardstock and created a soft shadow using 2 layers of vellum over 1 layer of white cardstock.

I always love a pop of black so I added a heat embossed sentiment underneath from the Wish Stamp Set as well. Both the word and the sentiment are propped up on the background using foam tape.

To create the background, I used the Streamers Stencils using 2 Concord and 9th's inks: Ballet Slipper and Grapefruit, then trimmed it down to be slightly smaller than an A2 card size. Finally, the background was propped up onto a white card base and I finished off the card by adding a few dew drops.

My second card is a clean and simple card created using only 1 stamp -- a solid balloon from the Birthday Balloons Stamp Set. I stamped the balloon 4 times using 4 different inks so that they were slightly overlapping. The inks I used from left to right were Concord and 9th's Grapefruit, Honeysuckle, Sorbet, and Ballet Slipper.

Once I had the balloons stamped out, I used black cardstock with the "for you" sentiment die from the Gift Card Bag Dies. I wanted the sentiment to overlap the balloons just a little bit, but also stand out in the white space below so once I decided on the position, I went ahead and trimmed down the background to be slightly smaller than an A2 card.

The background was propped up on a white card base and I added a few Metallic Gold Pearls to balance out the design a bit more.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you like my cards! Make sure to enter the giveaway and check out the rest of the bloggers (details below)! Happy hopping!
