The newest Inspired by Challenge are these gorgeous metallic balloons.

I went looking for balloons in my stash, and found this lovely Make a Wish Press Plate from Pinkfresh Studio. I foiled it on black cardstock using Spellbinders Speckled Aura Gold Glimmer Hot Foil.

I positioned my foiled image onto a silver shimmer card base backed with some gold glitter paper for a bit more inspired sparkle.
To me, this is the perfect masculine birthday card design.
