The Alpha challenge for this week is T=Teabag. This idea came from fellow alpha Sharon (smadson) to make a hot air balloon. I wanted to try to use the color challenge and the Ways to Use it was to use balloons.... I rec'd a great Birthday card kit from Maggie (mschoener) a while ago- it is full of beautiful Birthday items, including this balloon and the DSP. I used the Neutral Merlot to back the balloon and added Wink if Stella, folded over the tea bag, punched hole in the top corners and added twine and attached under the popped up balloon. I tore the DSP for the grass below.

You are so creative. Great ideas for all the challenges. I like the paper you used for the grass and how you layered the torn edges. Fun balloon! Terrific card.

Super cute hot air balloon with the twine attached basket. I'm a sparkle type of girl so I'm loving the sequins in the sky! (teehee, while typing this, the song Lucy in the sky with diamonds came to mind) Cute card!
