Birthday with Paper Craft Crew sketch

My son's birthday is coming up and while I wanted to create something more personal, I had most of these items in my stash of card pieces and scrap paper.  It kind of all just fell together with the sketch inspiration.  I think it is still very him...blue and green. 



Here's the sketch I used from Paper Craft Crew:



I had the embossed card in my stash just waiting for enhancement.  I had created the distress background long ago when I first purchased Distress inks...these were my first colors!  Can you imagine how many colors I have now?  At least I can answer, not ALL of them, but most.  I also have a lot of the Distress Oxide colors...I would own more but that is a disappointing story for another post.  



I found scraps of the shimmer pear and blue weave papers then stamped the sentiment to match the balloons already stamped and die cut.  I inked up all the edges and highlighted the embossed base.


Ingredients:
Stampin Up Balloon Celebration and Balloon Punch (purchased 2/8/16)
Birthday Sentiment SU Designer Tee Sale-a-bration (2/2017) with Modern Label punch
Distress inks: Broken China, Twisted Citron, and Faded Jeans
misc card stock and papers
Quick Quotes Powderpuff Chalking ink Cactus and Blue Moon
Tim Holtz Notebook embossing folder
gems


I would like to enter this in the following challenges:



I choose Textured Embossing/Birthday/Blue and my Happy Birthday sentiment is from
