Happy Birthday To You

I wanted to use the set Birthday Bash from Verve, for this card (newly purchased!), and I always love clear ballons to stamp on patterned paper! The sketch is Viva La Verve June Week 4, and after trying to do the sketch upside down, because I thought that would be easier, I decided on doing it the original way (with a few little changes ;) The balloon strings werent long enough to see under the corrugated piece so I just drew a little exta length on them.
