You Did It

The theme for April's Reverse Confetti Stock Your Stash Challenge is moms, dads, and grads.  I made a fun congratulatory card for the challenge incorporating the colors from the current CAS Colours and Sketches challenge along the way.

I used RC's Congratulations dies to cut a trio of balloons from cardstock that matches the challenge colors.  After adding shiny silver die cut strings to the balloons, I arranged them at the top left corner of a blue cardstock panel, using foam tape for dimension.  The "congratulations" and "you did it" sentiments from the Congratulations set were stamped at the bottom of the panel in silver ink, then heat embossed in silver for a nice pop against the dark background.  I adhered a red cardstock strip to the bottom of the blue panel, then adhered it to a yellow dotted patterned paper panel.  The finished panel was adhered to a coordinating red card base.
