For Jen's challenge: Hope Soars & WT: Use a favorite-purple is my fav color & I enjoy working with hot air balloons. I sponged some soft sky before adhering the clouds (gifted from Reddyisco, Thanks, Jo!), colored the hearts and basket with markers, fussy cut each piece of the balloon. Thanks for stopping in today! ~Roberta

We both had hot air balloons on the brain today! I have two favorite colors -- orange (which I used on my card) and purple (which you used on yours). I like the framed look of this card. Good job!!!
A really delightful card. Great paper piecing on the hot air balloon. The SU tulip embossing folder is one of my favorites for framing. It looks really good on that polka dot paper.

You know that I am a fan of gray....and I love how you have used it to frame your delightful scene of the hot air balloon, Roberta. Your applied clouds are wonderful being white on white.
