Paperartsy challenge - Die cuts #2

I needed a quick card for a friend so decided on the below that also tied in with the current challenge over at Paperartsy see here for full details

I made an easel card base first with the one of the nesting dies and covered with some pretty hot air balloon paper. For the balloon I painted space cadet and captain peacock frescos onto some scraps and die cut the balloon and attached to the backing. Next I cut Happy Birthday with my most used die and added a shadow.  Three little circles were the finishing touch to make the stopper.

Thank you for looking xx
