Birth Stone BalloonsCompleted by Shirley Thompson

In my graphics programme I created an 8 x 8 in card front. I covered it with butterfly backing paper and added borders in sapphire. I made smaller rectangles in white with sapphire borders and added various images.

I opened and resized the sapphire/Virgo balloon from this kit and duplicated it twice. I added the sentiment's 'Happy Birthday', Born to shine & Virgo' to the balloons and placed a bow at the base of the strings.
