Remember that line from the Wizard of Oz delivered by the Scarecrow, "I think I'll miss you the most"? I had a sweet friend just graduate from school and one of her fellow students (and friends) said this to her on their last day. How sweet is that?
Anyway, this friend likes hot air balloons; hence this card! I found this fabulous hot air balloon image at Bird's Cards. I printed the image on cream card stock and then printed it 3 times on designer paper; two of the balloon images were cut from the soft green gingham paper; the basket was cut from the opposite side of that same gingham paper. I mounted the 2nd balloon and the basket with dimensionals AND used chocolate hemp as the "lines" holding the basket and balloon together.
What a wonderful creation! The colors and DP and your baloon all fit together so nicely. The chocolate hemp for the lines are great. Thanks for sharing your card and story.
