Today I am returning to a theme I've used alot this winter... hot air balloons! I've never actually ridden in one. I think I would like to do that (think...) because of the unique experience it would be. There is a hot air balloon operator in our valley and he's out quite early on nice days sharing the glorious views with his customers. Who knows, maybe some day....
The card I have for you was part of a card swap/challenge I recently participated in. The requirements were the card had to include an In Color, use of a framelit or thinlit and some ribbon. Here's what I came up with:
I love the mountain/valley scene depicted in the Night of Navy Designer Series Paper on the left side of the card. There are a few hot air balloons there, but just for good measure and to declare my color scheme, I also used a narrower strip of colorful balloon paper on the right side. I had purchased the tag framelit set from the Christmas catalog later in December and didn't have the opportunity to try it out until now. I put an extra "tag" on the front of the card with a message inside. That left the inside of the actual card for any message I wanted to write. This card is bright and happy because of the cheerful colors that were used. It's also a good example of adding an unexpected element to a card, like a tag. Hope this gives you some inspiration today!
