Double D - BALLOONS

Hello Dear Friends!

It's time once again for a new challenge over on the Double D Challenge Blog!

I'm happy to say I am hosting today's challenge and today's theme is:

BALLOONS

(that could be birthday balloons, hot air balloons, water balloons ... etc)

I chose Hot Air Balloons and have used the Serendipity by IO

die called 'Hot Air Balloons Reverse'.

Have you ever been up in a Hot Air Balloon?

Hubby & I did a hot air balloon ride over Cinderella's Castle

at Disneyland in FL many years ago and it was quite the experience.

Not only did you pay big $$ for the ride, but you & the others on the 'flight'

had to help in setting up the balloon and packing it all back up once you safely landed.

THAT I was not expecting ... but it was at sunrise which was cool and we had

a champagne toast when it was all done which was also pretty cool!

I used two panels of white card stock the exact same size,

the top one I die cut my balloons and the bottom one I sponged a variety

of distress ink on to give my balloons color.

I used dimensional tape around the top panel then adhered to the background

panel.  To 'set it off', I matted it with a panel of black card stock which

I also did some 'hand stitching' with a white gelly roll pen.

My sentiment is hand written because I just couldn't find what I was wanting in my stash.

We have this fabulous Elizabeth Craft 'Hot Air Balloons' die offered as the

prize to one lucky random winner.  Remember ... you gotta play to win!
