Yikes - I totally forgot we are meant to be going out tonight and I need to pack for the weekend. Luckily I'd started this card before I remembered, as I hope to get it in the post tomorrow. The challenge was perfect for getting me inspired - thanks, Julia.
Base fits business envelope. I took a piece of white card the same size and stamped loads of balloons, using several masks. Drew the strings on and then edged the panel with a black marker. Stitched on some polka-dot organza. Cut and stamped the triangles, then edged them with silver pen, glued to pink twine and popped up on foam. Fastened the twine in the corners with brads.
Have to pack, so I may not get to visit the gallery till tomorrow morning.
