Dad's 80th Birthday

Two posts in one day, but I'm getting ready to leave for a bit and need to get several birthday cards ready.  This one is for my dad's 80th.





Love the inside sentiment!  I'm turning 50 this year, and I SOOOO relate!  Here's a better shot of the balloons.  I used colored pencils and decided to stay with primary colors.  The strip of green was run through my Cuttlebug using a Stampin' Up! texture.  The buttons, sentiment, and balloon stamps are all CTMH.  I stamped the balloons then x-acto knifed around the edges where I wanted to tuck the sentiment.  After double checking the challenge sketch (see below), I then x-acto knifed around the left side of the red and yellow balloons to slide the green banner through.
I am entering this in the following challenges:
 
CAS(E) this Sketch: #21  (Ooops, guess I was too late to link up!)
 
I did outline the sentiment square with a thin line of gray.  I saw this on someone's blog who took the recent online class, Pattern Play. 
 
I hope my dad laughs!!
 
Until next time,
Becca
