HYCCT1220 - Let Love Soar

Photo Details

Poster: meerkat3

For my sweetie-head pal Lisa's challenge to use something in the air on our cards today. I used the hot air balloon from the Hero Arts OWH Happy Birthday set. I paper-pieced it with pretty papers from the (appropriately-named) Basic Grey What's Up 6x6 pad.

The sketch and most of the ideas came from the cards on the OWH site. Good stuff.

Are you playing along with us? If not, you're missing out on the chance to lift the spirits of women battling breast cancer at MD Anderson, and also on more than $6500 in prizes from your favorite crafty companies. So what are you waiting for? Get to stamping!

Oh wow, what a fabulous card. I love the design with the clouds on the back panel showing through the circle. It really adds a different dimension to the card. Well done.

This is awesome! Love the cut out so the clouds show and that is just the perfect paper for a hot air balloon! Love!
