Oooooo! Patsmethers you reign supreme as Queen for the Day! I have been cruising your gallery all weekend trying to settle on a card to case. I must admit to being intimidated casing you, my dear. You've got more talent wrapped up in the tip of your pinky than I do in my entire body, and I keep expecting to find your pretty smiling face in the Dirty Dozen gallery soon! Your cards are always a work of the "heart," even if you do try to act like you're all naughty or sumpin'. But we know what a big heart you have. Sooooo, I just had to case one of your sweet HM cards, and I especially love this darling Fly Away one you did.
I just had to pull out my adorable li'l teddy bear and pair him up with these big balloons. After all, he needs some big balloons to help him lift off!
I paper pieced my balloons and colored teddy with Copic markers. I sponged Soft Sky, Barely Banana, and Mellow Moss on the background.
I used my notched corner punch and threaded pink embroidery thread around that.
I keep praying that Stampin' Up will bring back permanently some of the In Colors they've introduced these past few years. I especially love the softness of Pink Pirouette and Soft Sky.
In any event, CONGRATULATIONS, Pat on being Queen for the Day! You're one of the bestest!!

Charlene, I am so touched by your words and tickled to pieces with your sweet lil card! Your lil bear is colored so beautifully, he is absolutely huggable. I love your sky and those pieced balloons. (and so glad that even if Bertie was here to fling sumfin', that balloons would make a soft 'hit'!) Lol. I love your humor, your talent and your heart. Hugs to you friend. XOXOXO
