SCS color challenge {my balloon}

I'll keep it on the quick side today. The past few weeks have been a little slower than usual in the DT obligation department. It's been nice AND I have even had a chance to play with some challenges I haven't done in a long time.  This was for the SCS Color Challenge 394. EVERY week there is a new color combo picked to create with. This one was: Not quite Navy, Pacific Point, and Sahara Sand (these are SU colors, but you can work with similar colors).  

I went  shopping in my personal MFT stamps and pulled out this PI-My Balloon. She is one of the original, sweet girls that My Favorite Things released a few years ago. She's still as cute as ever. 

I paired her with Jen's Deconstructing Sketch 70 (it reminded me of cake layers.....get it? it's a birthday card! Can't have a birthday without cake).  The newest sketch is up and I CAN'T wait to get busy on that one!
The papers are from Authentique and the two Die-namics I used today are the Circle Stax 1 Die-namics and the Medium Simply Scallops Die-namics. 
It's all tied up with my new love....the Hemp Twine. It's no secret I've been a long time lover of twine on my cards. For a good while now I have been using the Burlap Twine. Loved that stuff, BUT when I went to reorder it a few months back,  I noticed The Ribbon Carousal no longer is carrying it :( I was worried about what I was going to do without my twine! No fear.....this Hemp Twine is even better! Try some, you'll love it, too!
