Today is World Card Making Day and to honour it, I have made a card - something I've got out of the habit of a little.
I started by playing with the Tim Holtz's hot air balloon which I stamped on Clearly for Art and heated it to allow me to curve it to get the inflated balloon shape. I was inspired by a tag I saw on Gayle's blog yesterday which sparked this idea.
I took an old book page which I covered in Paperartsy Fresco paint (mermaid and claret) and then added some puff paint to create some clouds over a Stampscapes cloud space stamp
The base card is stamped with a hot air balloon scene by Rubber Stamp Craft which I have had forever
I fixed the CFA balloon to the book page with glossy accents, re-heating it very gently to allow me to bend and push the edges to the paper.
I am entering this to Crafty Boots and Paperartsy World Card Making Day competitions.
