It is that time of the month again when we get to hop all over Blogland enjoying a buffet of Papertrey products!! In addition to the Hop I want to include my Happy Birthday wishes to AAA Cards Challenge blog who is 2 years old!!
I created a balloon mask from a scrap of clear acetate and then inked up my three balloons individually. I then went back over each one with a different stencil : ) I drew a fine "string" down to my hand at the bottom of the card and then added my sentiment : ) Next I tried something new - I have always wanted to spray my card with a spray adhesive and toss glitter on it. It worked even better than I hoped : ) I used a super fine Crystal Glitter by Stampendous! It does not show really well in the picture but this is one sparkly card!!
Any place that had too much glitter I simply rubbed off with my adhesive remover. After it completely dried there was no sticky residual left at all!
Thank you for joining me today at the hop for PTI and in congratulating AAA cards for two fun years of challenges!
I have to be gone all day today but I promise I will get to each of your blog in the next couple of days!

Supplies:

Patti, this is absolutely beautiful. I love the softness of it. Can you believe I completely forgot about the blog hop. In fact don't even remember seeing this one.
LOVE the soft pastel coloring and Glitter..that you just threw on it:))
Spray glue and glitter sounds, and looks, like a fab techique. Pretty subtle colours on your card and I can just imagine the real life shimmer. Thanks for joining in AAA Cards birthday celebrations.
Your shimmery stencil-stenciled balloons are absolutely gorgeous, especially in pretty pastels! Another 'in awe' design...

Patti, another winning card. Your "stenciled" balloons coated with glitter look awesome. The hand ties the bouquet together nicely. Beautifully done!
Absolutely love this soft and shimmery card! Great technique on the balloons, love the glitter and the shaded die cut sentiment.
PERFECTION!!! Love the trio of soft pretty balloons and the light wash of color on the sentiment. You rocked the hop Patti!!
This is gorgeous, Patti, and I'll bet it looks like a fine confectioner's sugary dessert IRL! Delicious!! Enjoy your day! Hugs, Darnell
Patti, what a darling & fun card this is.

Beautiful, beautiful card Patti! Absolutely love how you did your glittery background...it turned out fabulous and I'm gong to have to try that! Love your soft coloring too! Great job...lovely card!! :0)
You captured the essence of the photo perfectly with your softly colored balloons. I really like what you did.
This is so pretty! Wonderful take on the inspiration photo!
This is beautiful. Love the close up that really shows the shimmer. Can't go wrong with balloons. And, thanks for the offer of those tractors. Well, I checked my stash, and it looks like I do have that stamp set! (skulking away with shame face....) You have just given me more incentive to pull them out.
YOWZA! Love your pretty balloons and all of that glitter!!! Wow!
So pretty and sparkly! The soft shimmer is just perfect!
Those balloons are so amazing!! Great take on this month's challenge.
Exceptionalally soft and pretty!
Just beautiful...love your soft and sweet colors, really makes for a wonderful party.
Adorable card Patti. Great job with the glitter. Glitter and me dont always get along. It invades my hair, skin and my craft table takes weeks to be free from its grips. But it makes a statement of "I am special" on our cards and so we deal with the mess it makes. Your cards are adorable and I am glad you are now in the "glamor and glitter" world. Thanks for mentioning the spray adhesive. will have to try that too!
Oooooh sooooo pretty! You know I ADORE glitter and this card added extra sparkle to my day! LOVE it, Patti.
hugs, Asha
