What a mix of beautiful and fun hot air balloons for our inspiration today!
Kent and I actually went on a hot air balloon ride over the Massai Mara in Kenya in 1998 when on safari there - we landed in the reserve and had a full course breakfast served to us laid out on long tables - the whole thing was the trip of a lifetime!
I was inspired by the colors and steam punk kind of look of this pinterest post
The DP I used is Vagabond by Stamperia - and it did have a full page of a steam punk kind of hot air balloon but it was too big for a card so I used a tag from the papers and this lovely village of similar colors as my inspiration.

Oh Julia, this paper was perfect, and I just love the tag you made from it with the balloon. Your safari was certainly a trip of a lifetime, and how brave you were to go up in the balloon. WE were in the Southwest at the Balloon Festival, and we could go up, but declined (you know how afraid I am of heights!). Your card is amazing, mf. Thanks for yesterday!!
