Bright Balloons

By
I have been a bit too busy lately to make any cards to enter into challenges but the sketch at Simply Stampin' this week has been on my mind and so I decided to join in. Here is the sketch


Sketches are probably my favourite kind of challenge as the content is up to you as long as the basic layout can be seen. I chose to use my Up, Up and Away set this time a gorgeous little set with loads of balloons and fab sentiments.
Here is my card


See the red scalloped edge on the left - that is made by stamping the polka dot balloon 5 times, cutting them out and then laying them along the length of the card. To disguise the joins I added some tiny flowers and pearls.
All my papers are various pieces of Stampin' Up DSP along with Whisper White and Cherry Cobbler card stock. My ink colours are Cherry Cobbler, Baja Breeze, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight.
See you soon - Jacqueline xx

    Thanks so much for playing along with us at Simply Stampin'! Ruth x

    Jacqueline, this is AWESOME! I love how you have used the balloons. Just really, really clever. I hope you don't mind if I ever borrow that idea? Beautiful!

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
