Hello and happy hump day! Monika has chosen some great primary colors for the Color Throwdown Challenge! I went with a literal interpretation of the photo and used some balloon stamps and dies - inspired by this card by Dawn Woleslagle.
I hand drew the balloon strings with a gray 0.3 Copic multi liner pigment ink pen. The die cut balloons were popped with foam dots. The blue "happy" is also a die cut. I'm going to be needing a big stash of masculine birthday cards next month, so this is a start.
