The PTI Balloon Shaker die is used to create a shaker with two clear sides that is inset into the front of the card base.
The smaller balloons are inked and die cut with Avery Elle Numbered Balloon Dies, helping personalize the card for a friend's milestone birthday this month.
To give the card a more polished look another balloon outline was cut backwards and added inside the card front. The back of the balloon number die cuts are also inked as I knew they would be visible on this side of the card.
In addition to the CASology Cue Word: CLEAR, I took inspiration from the Fusion 2nd Year Celebration challenge (photo and sketch) and the Seize the Birthday CAS challenge.
Please check out the beautiful Design Team creations for more inspiration.
