Allsorts Challenge ~ I Spy Something beginning with B

A new Allsorts Challenge begins today and Brenda has chosen the theme 'I Spy Something Begining with B’.  I'm sure you can all think of something beginning with B to include on your creation, but there is always the Anything Goes option.

My first card is a Birthday card with Balloons and Bakers Twine.  I used a Sue Wilson 'Balloon' embossing folder for the background.  The red balloon was a Sizzix die cut and I tied the bakers twine around the bottom before attaching the balloon with foam pads.  The candle ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons. 

I am joining in the following challenges with this card:

Double Trouble Challenge #155 ~ Die-cember

Use Your Stuff Challenge #481 ~ Wrap It Up - Ribbon

My second Birthday card, has a Badger holding a Bloom.  The image was in the corner of a piece of A4 patterned paper.  The rest of the sheet was just shades of green which I used on other projects and this little piece has been hanging around on my craft desk for ages.  I decided to use a square stitched die to turn it into a  topper and use it on a card.  The patterned paper is from The Works and I added a strip of dotty ribbon, before attaching the layered image.  The sentiment is stamped with Versafine Clair 'Morning Mist'.
