I used Stampin' Up's From the Herd stamp set and colored them with alcohol markers.  I outlined them with Rusty Hinge by Distress Inks but didn't like it, so I cut the entire image out (with the exception of the little birdie on top of the buffalo.)  I used 10" x 7" burnt orange cardstock and scored the 10" length at 5" to make the card a total of 5" x 7". I cut a big oval in the center of the front of the card with a set of cutting tools from Creative Memories.  I used balloons from the From the Herd stamp set and stamped  them around the oval.  I stamped the sentiment above the oval that said "just looking in on you" and put acetate behind the oval with tape runner.  I cut a piece of green and white polka dot paper and placed it behind my cut out animals and adhered the animals with tape runner.  I put foam tape on the back of the card surrounding the acetate and then laid my polka dot paper on the foam tape.  I had to add another piece of polka dot paper to completely cover the back of the card as my first piece wasn't positioned to make sure it covered the inside half of the card.  I used Handsome Hunter by Stampin' Up ink and a speckled stamp and stamped around the front of the card (covering the acetate with the paper I cut from the oval.)  I stamped the inside of the card with Happy Birthday from the Herd stamp set.  I colored my balloons with vibrant colors and then drew the strings for the balloons onto the acetate and into the animals mouths and behind them.  I really liked the way this card came out and hope you do as well.
