CAS b-day card

Hi everyone! I have been absent for quite awhile...so sorry! But my youngest brought home a virus and now my oldest and I are fighting bronchitis. NOT fun! It's been tons of coughing and all kinds of stuff going on here so crafting has just not been on the agenda. However, the dr said that I needed to rest and that laying down makes the coughing worse. He told me to sit and rest--which, in my mind, means sit and craft! :) If I'm going to have to sit around anyway, I might as well have a bit of fun...so yesterday, I did just that! I don't have much energy so the card is clean and simple and I actually really liked how it came out. I decided to play along with the CAS-Fridays site and the Lawnscaping site. Here's the challenge pics:

Here's my card: One of my best friend's baby just turned one and I wanted to make him a cute card. I chose to use a balloon punch and ink the balloons using distress inks. Then, I used some small b-day themed stamps to add some details on the balloon and colored in some of the details with markers. My nickname for the baby is "corazoncito" which is "small heart" in Spanish so I used a small heart punch and added that to one of the balloons, too. I used a glitter pen to add some sparkle to the candles and party hat and the heart. Then, I added some twine and tied them all together. Adhered the balloons, stamped the sentiment, rounded the corners, and the card was done! Since I am on "R&R" per dr's orders, I'm hoping to maybe craft a bit more today. :) Hope everyone is doing well--stay healthy! And thanks for stopping by! Pat
