Artsy Balloon Ride

Ok, so I just had to make one more card with this cute balloon stamp!! It is a Little Darling's stamp, which was included in my Card of the Month kit from my LSS, and I followed the Tall & Skinny sketch from Mojo Monday for this week.

For the background I used a Tim Holtz stencil with two yellow colours of Distress Inks sponged over.  I adore this stencil!! I love the way it looks like the sun is shining into her face :)

I used a combination of paper-piecing, Distress Markers, and coloured pencils to colour in the image and popped her up with foam dots after fussy cutting.

I had to pull out my Artsy stamps for my travel themed sentiments - The Journey is from Tim Holtz and the Explore ticket is by Kaisercraft.  I'm not sure where the postcard stamp came from.  The pretty floral paper is from Jillybean Soup.

Challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Travel
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Arty Stamps
Mojo Monday - Sketch Challenge

I hope you are all enjoying your week so far! I have been having fun getting some cards done - unfortunately I have not got the laundry done, lol.  Oh well, I guess it'll still be there tomorrow!

Happy crafting!
