Gold Balloons with Stripes

I never seem to have enough birthday cards, so I made this one , taking inspiration from some great challenges.

The elephants are a set by Mama Elephant and I coloured them with alcohol markers and the balloons in gold glitter pen. The striped paper is Echo Park and the sentiment is Hero Arts.

  14. Marina, I love this card! Of course those elephants are adorable and you've coloured them beautifully. But it's the way you've used them that makes this card outstanding. Having the elephants in a "free fall", holding the gorgeous gold balloons against that bold black and white striped background is brilliant. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
