You never know where you are going to get your inspiration from. While surfing the net months ago I came across a blog – Stephmodo – which is a food and lifestyle blog. She was having a party for her daughter and chose hot air balloons as the theme.
She made little gift boxes thata were so darling – I used them as my inspiration for this card:
The balloon is a $1 stamp from Michaels, the mountains are a stamp from Alexstamping and the sentiment and numbers are from Limited Edition. The coloring was done with copic markers, with memento sky and paris dusk sponged in the background.
I used decorative scissors to make the stamp border, but I will be glad to get my hands on the new Spellbinders Postage Stamp dies – they are much better looking than my attempt here!
The gift boxes that inspired me are these – each one contained on small hot air balloon pendant – aren’t these just darling?
Thanks for stopping by today!
