Birthday Balloons!

 I made this card today with four challenges in mind.   The stencil I used from PTI (retired) is 6"x 6" so I cut the panel in half to 3" each and trimmed the top/bottom to measure 5 1/2" and was able to make two cards out of stencilling once!  I used an 01 Black Micron pen to draw the balloon strings.  The sentiment is from The Greetery Sentiment Suite: Birthday.

Balloons are always a great way to celebrate a birthday and the fact you got two for one is a bonus. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls, Julia.
