OWH - Thinking Of You

I discovered a few things this weekend.  I like Jazz.  I hadn't ever really listened to it before, but I did today and I liked it.  Its great background for reviewing documents (keeps the mind engaged on page 50 of dry process related stuff) but I decided its not the best for crafting to ... so I changed Pandora to 70s classic Rock and got going.

 I wanted multi-colored horizontal stripes but didn't want them to just be plain paper.  Then I remembered my ticket border and cut strips of tickets in Delightful Daffodil, Pumpkin Pie and Melon Mambo.  I also stamped the Pacific Point card base.

The tickets set up a kind of carnival theme in my head so I went with a hot air balloon ride for the main focal layer.  I colored the balloons with Copics (R24, R29, R59), then stamped the large balloon again on the Daffodil paper and painstakingly cut out all those little flags and adhered them.


Thanks for stopping!

    I love your card! It's so happy and fun. You put so much detail into your balloon and it looks great. That's probably why I do so few balloons! Great job!

      I completely agree. I only use this set once in a blue moon for just that reason :)

      They are a Papertrey Ink border die. It cuts about 4 or 5 connected tickets. There is a companion stamp set as well. Love it!
