Since the colors are a little on the mellow and subdued side, I wanted to introduce different textures to the card to bring the colors out. I had fun with all kinds of accessories! I used the Champagne Mist shimmer paint on the balloon to make it more "glisteny" and dressed it up a little by adding the small half circle pearls from the Pretties kit. For the papers, I used the Big Shot Top Note die and the texturz plates to add more dimension to the card. Here's the full recipe for you:
