The Classy Card Ladies are dueling again. This month Kelly (Diamonds) and Jeanette (Pearls) sent out items regarding the theme "In the Clouds". Jeanette sent the Pearls this wonderful hot air balloon image...perfect since I grew up in Albuquerque and have enjoyed the Balloon Fiesta there.
I used a navy blue as the background and then added the embossed paper and silver paper (hopefully looking like a silver lining). The sequins just add a little sparkle.

Your card looks fantastic! Great use of the cloud embossed background for your balloons. Your coloring looks wonderful. Yes, such fond memories of the Balloon Fiesta.

A wonderful layout! Your coloring of the balloons is so pretty, love the soft shadowing you achieved. I agree, the silver lining you added is a great touch!
