Hello everyone! It's a busy week, but I carved out a little time to play in the current City Crafter challenge. You need to use clouds, and a particular color scheme (see below). It took me a day to think it out, and another to put this together. At first, I had a rough go with this, but am pretty pleased with the result:
I used a pretty balloon from The Sky's The Limit and some fun dotty clouds from Springtime Beauty II, both from Inspired By Stamping.
Love this dainty script on the sentiment, which is from Flowers Bloom. It can be suited to many different occasions....I am using this for a birthday card.
I wanted you to see the shine I put on this balloon, which is paper-pieced. Got worried for a little bit, because the paper had buckled and warped when I applied the glossy accents adhesive. It all settled back down once it dried.
Thanks to those of you who took a virtual tour of my craft studio. I am happy as a clam with it, that little space to call my own. :-)
Have a wonderful day!
