I'm not sure how my son is getting any older when I'm not aging, but here we are. I'm not really sure the big 3-0 is the milestone it used to be, but it seems like a big deal to me.
To create the card, I computer-generated the sentiment on white card stock. I selected a range of snippets in different colors and die-cut balloons. To attach the strings, I wrapped the string around the balloon, put a glue dot on the back, and pressed one end of the string into the glue dot.
The confetti is stamped in a variety of colors that are close to the balloon colors. (Anyone want to take my bet that he asks "what are all those squiggles?")
After getting that far, I realized my sentiment said "welcome to the big 30" instead of big "3-0". So, printed it out again, cut it with circle die, and cut another snippet into a circle so I could cover up the mistake. No one will ever know.
This card is for these challenges:
Die-cut Divas -- celebration
