Playing along with Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge #492

 There is SO much to choose from in this Challenge Inspiration photo but I went with the fuchsia, black, gold & white colour combo. It was perfect for the milestone birthday card I needed to make for one of my favourite people!

With no obligation to use any specific products, I pulled out some of my favourite retired Stampin' Up! DSP from my stock. It set the perfect backdrop and I just went from there!

I choose Berry Burst as my shade of fuchsia and I love how the metallic gold just pops with it.  I also love how the gold embossing pops off the black. After that, this card basically made itself, lol!  I did do a quick google image search for some options on how to arrange 3 balloons but other than that.... 

I was going to fussy cut the greeting but I actually think the rectangle with more black grounds the elements better!

Here is the inspiration photo:
