Hi, Friends.....

I am here with my Friday project for this week's Unity - Friends with Flair.  Today I used a birthday balloon stamp from Unity - Far Better Things Ahead.  I got brave and stamped it with Versamark ink directly onto a pretty second-generation watercolor background I made from one of my marker "refill water" backgrounds.  Then I heat-embossed it with gold powder.  Salmon pink and gold???  YUMMY!!!!

I doodled a string for the balloon with a gold pen from my Sakura Gelly Roll Metallic Gel Pen Set and mounted the panel on a glittery gold mat. Then I tied a matching ribbon around the two panels and mounted it on a deep salmon card base.  I LOVE the delicate pink with the metallic gold.  

Hope you like this card.  It went together really fast since I had the background already made.  I think this will go to my sister-in-law who loves pink and has a birthday later this month.  She never looks at my blog, so I am safe.  :)

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend.  Our weather finally is a little bit cooler (in the low to mid-80s) and it sure is nice after the 90s!!!  Stay cool!
