A monsterous birthday

Did you know that March 20 is "Extraterrestrial Abductions Day"? Well, now you know:) This little cutie is certainly not human, you can find him here in the Bugaboo store

I paper pieced his body and the balloon, cut out the tie, eyes and hat for some extra dimension. I covered the balloon with glossy accent and loose diamond glitter for some sparkle. I stitched around the edges and added 3 turquoise enamel dots. I also used a paper straw onto which I attached a hand cut banner with a birthday greeting.

This card is also for these challenges:
1) House of Cards - Enamel Dots
2) Addicted to Stamps - #100 Celebration
3) Glitter n Sparkle - #128 Glitter and Sparkle
4) Craft Your Passion - Anything Goes
5) Sparkle N Sprinkle - Anything Goes with Loose Glitter, Embossing Powder and/or Flocking

    Ah ah ah!! Very fun, it makes me smile so much!! His face is too cute to hurt someone!!! Your paperpiecing and this balloon with glossy accents and sparkle are beautiful! I also like so much the idea of the paper straw with the banner, it's a fabulous detail that gives more dimension to the card!! Thanks for sharing!
