CAS(E) This Sketch

There's a great layout for the latest CAS(E) This Sketch challenge based on the retro sketch #29! I needed a card for our second son's birthday in another week, so I tried to create a design with colors that gave a masculine feel.  I die cut the balloons from leftover scraps of cardstock in 3 different shades of blue. The strings were added free hand using a Copic Multi Liner ink pen. The circles were punched from black CS then enamel dots were layered over them. 

STAMPS: Sending and Wishing (Simon Says Stamp), Marble Background (My Favorite Things).
DIES: Balloons (Simon Says Stamp); Sending and Wishing (Simon Says Stamp), Edge Essentials (Reverse Confetti), Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-Namics (My Favorite Things).
