Here is my take on the challenge. I created an art journal page that reflects on age - as I am turning 50 in a few months! I have taken inspiration from the balloons and their colours as well as the word Birthday. I will put more close ups further down the post as well as a couple of process step photos:

As promised here are some photos taken during the design and some close ups.  I have listed the products used at the bottom of the blog post which are linked to the shop.

I have used a brick stencil and Finnabair rust paints to create the brick wall.

Distress Inks in Peacock Feathers, Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade. 

6x6 circle stencil - i sprayed water through the stencil to create some blotches in the ink and Distress Medium Collage - Crazing. 

The balloons were created using a gelli plate creation.  I used Dylusion Paints and texture tools with the gelli plate and then die cut balloons from the paper.

The dog was stamped from Tim Holtz Mini cats and dogs collection and painted with Distress Inks. Final touches include outlining the balloons in black Posca Pen, sayings from Tim Holtz Idea-ology Small Talk and splashes of gesso.

This shows the Tim Holtz crazing medium once dried
