Hot Air Balloons...

Good morning!

Have you been shopping at GinaK's yet? I'm sure we'll be super busy today processing and packaging orders from all you busy shoppers! It's always fun seeing what everyone has bought. This morning I decided to show off a few more cards that I made with Gina's new Eclectic Summer StampTV kit... I LOVE the stamps in this kit!!

My first card I already shared with you, but I wanted to include it in this post so you could see the different take on the hot air balloon and cardstocks with this card...

As you can see, it's basically the same card, but much simpler. I colored the balloon with Koh-i-noor pencils, OMS, and blending stumps and then added a thick layer of Crystal Lacquer over the entire image. Then, I added it to the sponged background with popdot dimensionals. The mustard background paper was run through my BigShot with a Quickutz embossing folder.

Here's a close up of the balloon...

Have a great rest of your day and enjoy the weekend!

The balloons are gorgeous. Love the embellished glitter. Just wanted to say I only found your site today and it’s really cool. You’ve been very busy and have so many good ideas. Your creations are really cute. I write a London based crafty e-zine and blog named Extremely Crafty Ideas at http://extremelycrafty.blogspot.com/ Would love to hear what you think.
