Dragon Balloon Birthday - Pilin' on the Tic-Tac-Toe

The theme this fortnight at Pile It On is Tic-Tac-Toe. We're sponsored by Eureka Stamps.

I used the first column from our PIO Tic-Tac-Toe board: Balloon, baker's Twine, Stripes.

This accordion card was inspired by a tutorial from Me & My Big Ideas; I made a matching birthday card for his brother this year.

Although this features bold designs, I wanted to feature the Dragon Balloon from Eureka Stamps' unique line of shaped balloon images.


The balloons are from an Elizabeth Draft die set, and the vehicles are from Taylored Expressions' "Transportation Little Bits" set. The sentiment stamp is from Jillibean Soup, and I heat-embossed it in neon yellow.

Inspiration/Challenges:
Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper: Anything goes with Patterned Paper (2nd entry)
Tuesday Throwdown: For a Child
Just Add Ink: Add anything starting with B (balloons)
QKR Stampede: Birthday Cards
WOW Embossing Powder Challenge: Anything Goes with Embossing Powder


Thank you for visiting & inspiring my crafting! Hope you'll join us at Pile It On,

  4. Oh this is super fun! I love how the inside works as little roads for the cars. And a dragon with balloons is just a fun idea! Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.
