So about a week ago, I was in my local Tuesday Morning, browsing the baby aisle, and stumbled upon this adorable blanket...
I immediately thought to myself, wait, I have a hot air balloon stamp at home.
So tonight's card which will also be on my display at the Close to my Heart Convention in about a week and a half, was in fact inspired by that blanket.
Now originally I was planning to use soft pastel blues, but decided against it, and chose to use the soft aqua colors.
I may go back and create some neutral ones and even a pink or blue one.
The hot air balloon stamp is from the Cheers To You Cardmaking Workshops Your Way stamp set.
I stamped the image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, and filled in just a few spots with some of my
Cricut Markers.
The "Welcome Baby" sentiment is from the Short & Sweet Stamp Set.
One of my favorites, because it has so many different sentiments.
And at only $6.95 it is an amazing deal.
The small strip of White Daisy was also run through the Cuttlebug (Exclusive Hostess Offer) , with our Rose Embossing Folder.
This embossing folder, is truly my go to for many cards and scrapbooking layouts.
I used a little Lagoon ink to help distress the edges of the hot air balloon panel.
Then I finished off the card with a few Bitty Sparkles to add some simple shine.
I did enter this card into the following challenge:
