Happy 21st Birthday! | Pals Paper Arts #307 & Mojo Monday #455

So my little brother is turning 21 soon, and I decided to let a couple of card challenges help shape the Birthday card I created for him.

I used the Pals Paper Arts colour challenge # 307 and the Mojo Monday sketch challenge #455 as inspiration for my card.

 My card also fits in nicely with this weeks Global Design Project #043 Party Theme Challenge.

Here is what I came up with:

The base of my card uses Whisper White card stock, and I cut a square of Night of Navy using my Squares collection framelits. Using the new Large Numbers framelits and my magnetic platform, I cut out 21 from the middle of the square.

I then cut out a balloon in Real Red using the Balloon framelits set. I placed the framelit over the edge of the cardstock so I wouldn't need to trim the top & side of the balloon.

My sentiment comes from the Number of Years stamp set and was stamped in Night of Navy onto some Pool Party cardstock. I then used my banner framelits & magnetic platform to cut out the sentiment.

I adhered the Navy square to the card front using a combination of Snail adhesive and Tombow. I placed a strip of Pool Party washi tape across the top of the Navy square. I then tied a bit of red & white twine I had lying around to the bottom of the balloon cut out. Using some Snail I then adhered the sentiment banner and the balloon to the card. I decided to add a little extra piece of washi tape at the bottom to help hold the balloon string in place along with a tiny dot of tombow under the twine in the middle. All finished :)

I am hoping my brother will like his card.
