DT card - AAA birthday challenge!

Good morning lovely friends.  I have some exciting news for you today, although my blog title probably gives it away lol!  I have joined the DT over at the AAA Birthday challenge.  I am so grateful for the opportunity to join this amazing team but also very nervous too as I haven't been on a design team for many years.  The majority of my cards are for birthdays so this team will be the perfect fit for me and I hope I can also inspire you along the way.  

Ok enough waffling let's get this party started!  The hostess this month is Giorgia and she has chosen the theme of 'balloons', so a nice easy one for you.  The design team have created amazing inspiration so please pop over to the challenge blog to see their amazing creations:

Here is my card for this month:

I've used a Penny Black cling stamp called 'birthday balloons' and coloured with my Promarkers.  I added some white gel pen highlights to her shirt and a couple of the balloons.  The background is created with a mixture of stamps and stencils and the sentiment was simply stamped in black ink.  I finished with a couple of sequins and voila my card was done.  

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Krafty chicks challenge - all occasions 

Seize the birthday challenge - birthday + topping of balloons

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge - anything goes

Allsorts challenge - Anything goes + option of one for the girls

Time Out challenge - fashionable

I hope you will enjoy the challenge this month and I cannot wait to see your amazing creations.  

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Hugs,
