Simple Valentine & Birthday (CBS, SSS & CASology)

Hello!  Happy Saturday!  The sun in shining today and I am grateful. :)  I few days ago I had a little bit of time to make a card for the following challenges:
Clearly Besotted Challenge #7: Love
Cas-ology Week #78 Challenge: Dot

I'm hoping the dots are obvious. :) I flicked acrylic paint this time because I really like the dimension it adds as opposed to using watercolors or mists.  With a toddler we are all about touch & feel things in this household and this bumpy texture is pretty fun to touch. :) The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted's stamp set "Remember".  It took a couple tries to line up the stamping just right across the card base and die cuts, but I'm so glad I finally tried this technique.  I love the way it looks.
My next card I just made for fun.  I needed some birthday cards, and I've been dying to ink up the balloons from Clearly Besotted's Make a Wish Set.  I grabbed a bunch of PTI inks and stamped away without a real plan.  I love how the inks look when overlapped...perfect for balloons.
