I made this card last night before bed... yesterday I must have been in the right frame of mind to create... Everything just seemed to work... Here is the card I made
This is a Crumbcake base, with a piece of Baja Breeze, which I sponged to make clouds, and a piece of Old Olive, which I had stamped on using Short and Sweet (I've recently rediscovered this set in my collection.... can you tell?) I stamped my hot air balloons from Up, Up, & Away in Baja Breeze, Old Olive and Crumbcake and cut them out. I stamped the baskets on the sky and then attached the balloons. The ribbon is a scrap off of a shirt, and I think it works really well with this colour scheme :) The two little blue dots? they are buttons made using the Sweet Buttons Embossolit and then they were covered with some Crystal Effects.
I am entering this into three challenges, the first is the Freshly Made Sketches, which I love this week, it's such a versatile sketch! Next up is the Color Throwdown challenge, which I really liked as well... And finally is the Simon Says Stamp Buttons challenge.
Thanks for dropping round :)
