I've not had tons of time to create this week as DH is still recovering from some cellulitis, but in the early, early hours of the morning, I stole some crafty time. I've been experimenting with this design using various colors and decided that this card was 'worthy.' I actually like it quite much!
All the stamps are from one SSS set. The panel was cut with an AE die, and there's one bitty LF heart dipped in Delicata gold ink. I drew the balloons' strings. You may see other variations of this in the future. Congratulations, Melissa. What a wonderful accomplishment!
Simply BEAUTIFUL!! Love the addition of the tiny heart!! I need to do this challenge myself!!
ReplyDeleteI like it quite much too, Bev ... well actually, I love it! Delicious soft colours on these celebratory balloons, perfectly trimmed with those tiny gold dots ... and that shimmery heart ... it's just the sweetest! Missing you, my friend ... big hugs & bisous, Anita :)

It's so simple, but so perfect! One that I will have to try and CASE one day. I hope you and hubby are staying well! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteYou SHOULD like it quite much because it's so whimsical and lovely. You have such a knack for arranging bits into an artful, delicate display of art. <3 I hope your hubster's cellulitis clears up soon.
