Challenge TSOT #686 with DTC #207 3-2-1 Recipe "Cool, Wild and/or Crazy" - Happy Birthday

This is my Design Team project for Try a Sketch on Tuesday (TSOT) Sketch #686 and combining it with out Sister Challenge, Double Trouble # 3-2-1 Recipe "Cool, Wild and/or Crazy", (3-Colors, 2-shapes, 1-sentiment). 

I needed a birthday card... decided to use Balloons as my shapes instead of Twisted Sister optional twist of two squares. The balloons, along with the squiggly strips for the balloon strings were cut from CTMH "Fresh Paint" patterned paper. 

I traced a half circle on a piece of white cardstock and adhered each of the squiggly balloon strings around the half circle and then bordered with the same patterned paper. The balloons were placed as in sketch and adhered with 3-D thin foam tape for dimension. Stamped sentiment and bordered with same patterned paper.  

I was not pleased with the white background... it needed some color. Chose several Copic colors matching the patterned paper and dotted each color randomly on the background.  Now, how cool was that... pretty cool.  

There were a few extra balloons that I had die cut so adhered them to the inside of the card on the right-hand corner. 

Please hop on over to Try a Sketch On Tuesday, check out the Design Team's inspiration for this sketch and share your creativity... hope to see you there.

You may want to hop on over to our sister challenge, Double Trouble to see if you have already met their 3-2-1 Recipe ingredients.
