Celebrate!

I don't know if you've seen, but Moxie Fab World is having a challenge: In My Beautiful Balloon. It's based on the fabulous trendiness of hot air balloons, which they featured in their March/April issue.

I made this card the other day for this challenge. My only wish is that I had cut the paper in a different spot because of where the sentiment was going. It just didn't look right in any other spot and unfortunately it ended up right over the darkest portion! Oh well! 

I used a balloon shape from Silhouette to create a card and cut it out. The paper is from that awesome My Minds Eye 6x6 pad "true blue". The basket was just cut from PTI chocolate paper and I drew on the lines with a marker. The sentiment is from the Paper Smooches set "pretty phrases" and the heart from "spiffy scooters". Which I just stamped onto scraps from the balloon cut out and added glossy accents to them.

I will be back later today to post my very first card as the Paper Smooches April Guest Designer! Yay!!
Thanks so much for stopping by. :)
