This card is for the Whimsy Challenge, a Crissy Armstongs image called "Free Ride". He is just totally adorable don't you think? LOL I colored with my copies, then I cut out the balloon to the point of where my Circle Nestie was - cut out my circle. Then went to work on my card. I cannot tell you how bad I did NOT want to cut this paper... but then I saw this little mouse and decided it was worth it... LOL - I LOVE this paper... My Minds Eye Miss Caroline Howdy Doody collection. That floral paper is just gorgeous! If I could get this paper in wall paper I would so do a room in my house! Ok, so I cut into the paper, stacked up patterns sewed things together. Then I punched out two Whimsy Double Scallop border die - I just got it... so I HAD to use it right away :0) Do you love the weaving holes or what??? I cut strips of the matching paper and used it like ribbon, that way it would match perfectly. I sewed the borders in place and then I added Veva Decor Pearl Pen in Cream color to create lots of little "Pearls" on each border. My mouse and balloon were matted and then attached. I popped the balloon up with foam pop dots, then added two layers of dimensional glaze so my balloon would be really shiny and really pop out! Love how that came out. Then for my flowers I dug through my drawer of flowers and found a few that matched the pattern paper with some Martha Stewart Frond leaf punches.
