V's Sweet Ideas July Challenge

Hello!!!!  It's a new month ( holy smokes! ) and that means there is a new challenge starting at V's Sweet Ideas, woot woot!  This month we are partying it up with the theme of celebrations... quite fitting since the 4th of July is just around the corner.  Here is what I've created for this new challenge:

To create this card I used the V's Sweet Ideas Birthday Wishes Stamp Set to stamp all of the balloon images and sentiment.  Once I was done I began coloring the balloons with various Copic Markers.  I made sure to use two colors in the spots where balloons overlapped.  I then went through and added all of my strings with a pen before coloring the background with my B000 Copic Sketch Marker.  To finish the card off I die cut the stitches on the sides with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Borders, added some moonshine sequins and matted it to black cardstock.

I am also linking this up to the Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes Challenge

Hope you will have a chance to play along too! Happy Crafting!
