Sieze the Birthday with Rainbow Colors!

We are starting off our August Challenge at Seize the Birthday with colors of the Rainbow!
Barbara is our super talented hostess who is sponsoring this challenge and who doesn't love rainbows?...it is hope and beauty all in one place.  And just imagine the possibilities of finding that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow....!!
I used the Stamping Village Happy Birthday and colored up those fun balloons in rainbow colors, then using a stencil I did a background with the same colors, only a lighter shade.  Super simple and easy peasy!  Won't you join us with this fun rainbow challenge?  And be sure to go see all the inspiration from the design team and from our Special Party Guest:  Jen from JENerally Speaking!




Heart Hugs, friends!

Loving the stencilled balloons! The pastel colors look like they are glowing, really! What better to occupy more balloons as the focus on a card, right? :) Love it!
