The Sky's The Limit

Another balloon card today (I love these stamps) and another challenge this time it's CASology


Isn't it funny how sometimes you get a great idea for a card but the finished article is nothing like what you imagined? That's just what happened with this card


I won't bore you with too many details but in my head it should have been a lot brighter and I was going to sponge all my edges - doh!
I am however pleased with my embossing and you can actually see it on my photograph!



I used some Anna Griffin paper, Up, Up and Away stamp set and Tangerine Tango, Island Indigo and Chocolate Chip inks. The balloon and clouds have been popped up on 3D foam pads.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look - Jacqueline xx

    I love the scored frame around your sky - and the birds , and the clouds - so much interest and yet still very clean! Thanks so much for playing along with CASology this week!

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
