What a wonderful gallery you have Linda! Congratulations on being selected for Feature Stamper! There were so many great cards to chose from!!! I selected The Sky's the limit:
Yesterday, I went to a blog hop by Making Our Mark and they had Steampunk digis as a give away at the end. The balloon is one of the digis. When I saw the beautiful balloon card, I thought, hmmmm let's give it a go!
I kept the layout the same. But switched all the elements to Steampunk. Instead of a pretty ribbon, I used rulers or tape measures. Instead of a lovely bow, I used a lock and key and brad. Instead of birds, I used a metal butterfly. Also, I used distress inks and very different DPs.
What do you think? Do you like Steampunk? I had fun giving it a try!!! Thank you Julie for another amazing challenge! Linda, I love your gallery!!!

This is fabulous, Kathleen! I love hot air balloons and this steampunk version is just terrific. The clocks and measuring tape add so much interest to your wonderful card.
