It's a CELEBRATION!!!!!

No automatic alt text available.

Hello everyone:  The new RETRO RUBBER CHALLENGE is a celebration of our 100th. Challenge and for that, we have our first ever BLOG HOP, with prizes for everyone who leaves a comment on the Designer Team's blogs.  Each one of us has a prize which is a brand new but older than a year stamp plus a little something extra so, we all hope you come along and play.
Here is the card I made to celebrate this super fabulous occasion.


I picked the diagonal line, BALLOONS, CONFETTI AND CAKE.  
These balloons were cut out of glitter paper with the retired SU die set called "Balloon Pop Up", the confetti embossing folder is also from SU and the cupcakes are from a Penny Black 2013 stamp set called "Cupcakes", colored them with Prismacolor pencils and glitter pens. 
The sentiment is from a retired 2010-2011 SU set called "Curly Cute".

*******************************************************************

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.


The sentiment is from Inkadinka Do, the lines from retired SU set called "Gorgeous Grunge" the balloon from Penny Black.

Here are the links to my teammates' posts, please stop by and leave them your comments for a chance to win.

Your card looks like lovely ice cream colours - I love the way you've only coloured part of the embossing.
