Addicted to CAS Challenge #87


Good morning friends, I'm back with details of the latest challenge over at
Addicted to CAS and our wonderfully talented DT member, Anja is hosting this one. 
The codeword she's chosen is 'Plaid' and if I'm honest this one took a while to make. 



I spent so long trying to design my own plaid background but nothing
wanted to work for me so I ended up with a bin full of Duds!!!


Then I found a piece of design paper by Doodlebug in a plaid fashion and
although it covers the whole of the base of the card I've kept the rest
of the design very minimalist so hope it works ok.

The die-cut balloons are from Paper Smooches, The banner die is Sizzix Framelits, 
the sentiment is Happy Little Stampers with the balloon strings from Uniko:
Balloon bash. I couldn't resist a few extra Doodlebug sprinkles for added interest.

It's an anything goes week over at Simon Says Stamp - Wednesday Challenge
 so I'd like to head over there with this one as my second entry.
