So - Here is my card that I've made to hopefully inspire you :)
I used two Lawn Fawn sets - (1)Hello Sunshine using the sentiment 'Fly away with me', and (2) Blue Skies and I used the smallest balloon in the set. I, first prepped my card panel by die cutting it using one of the Femme Frames from Mama Elephant, and then I applied Tumbled Glass Distress Ink for my sky. Then, I die cut two pieces of white card stock and made a DIY stencil using the My Favorite Things Sun Ray die. I, then added some color to my embossing paste using the Mustard Seed Distress Marker, and I applied my stencil and applied the colored paste, and then added some sparkle using Judikins Iridescent Sparkle embossing powder. I set that aside to dry before I heat embossed it, and then I worked on my balloon. I stamped and die cut the smallest balloon, and colored it in using a couple of the green alcohol markers.
Once my embossing paste panel was dry, I heat embossed it for the embossing powder to shine and sparkle, and then I stamped my sentiment, and added my balloon using foam adhesive. Then, I mounted that onto a A2 size top folding white card base.
Hope you are having fun on the hop so far! It is time for me to send you off to the super sweet Lenny!
