A quick Birthday Card for Anything Goes at Retro Rubber

Time for another Anything Goes! Challenge at Retro Rubber, always a fan favorite.  I decided to make a quick card, not necessary clean, but simple!

My son recently had a birthday, and this challenge was perfect to make a quick card to help him celebrate!  Actually the only stamps used on this card are Stampabilities Vintage Type 96 pc from 2019, as they were the perfect size to fit the balloons which are very retro!

• The birthday background is created with white cardstock that is pressure embossed with Darice's Birthday Collage embossing folder.
• A brayer is inked up with ink from the Kaleidacolor Blue Breeze pad and then inked over the raised areas of the card background.  Using a brayer helps avoid getting ink in the "valley" parts of the background.
  
• The balloons are die cut from white cardstock using Quickutz balloon dies from about 2000!  I kept the white highlight piece and placed it back in the balloon later on.
• The numbers are stamped in Memento Luxe Wedding White and heat embossed with white embossing powder.  I selected a color from the hues on the Kaleidacolor Blue Breeze and used an ink dauber to ink up the balloons to match the background.
• The card base inked with an ink dauber from the same hues of the card background from the Kaleidacolor Blue Breeze iink pad.
• The balloons are assembled with foam adhesive on the back to hold the white sections in place.  Before removing the adhesive to place the balloons on the card, craft thread is tied to the balloons for strings.  The tails of the strings are adhered to the back of the card background.
• The card background is adhered to the card base.  

The is a super quick card to put together, and still was fun to coordinate all the blues using one ink pad!
