A Red Birthday Balloon

Red Birthday Balloon crop

A friend of mine at work, who so does NOT like all things girly, is having a birthday on Tuesday.  Well, she’s getting a “girly” card from me, but it won’t have pink and all kinds of frilly things.  A little girl in a dress with a balloon is not TOO girly, I hope.

I like the clean, crisp look of the kraft and white, with a few pops of red.  I wanted her little dress to have the same swiss dots as the mat layer, so this is how I pieced it all together.  (Obviously, I took the photo before I finished coloring her legs and shoes!  And I have no idea why the colors are so off, either.)

I hope she likes her birthday card!  Thanks for stopping by!
