I thought the inspiration teapot looked like a hot air balloon so I started using the new Stampin' Up set Up, Up and Away. My mind took a turn and I stamped them upside down and made them Christmas ornaments instead. This looks so cool in real life with the hanging "icicles" whih I made from this image from the new My Friend set. Embossed it in silver and then used Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds, it looks like a glass bubble. Hard to get a picture here today with no sunshine.
For the hanger and line I embossed the bottom of the balloon basket and drew a straight line up with my Versamark pen, embossed in gold.
Lovely As A Tree in Olive and Artichoke, sentiment in Cherry Cobbler is from Christmas Greetings.
Ornaments stamped in Eggplant, Cherry Cobbler, Wisteria Wonder, and Poppy Parade.
