I hope you are all enjoying the lovely weather although I must say that when you get really hot just sitting still it is a bit too much for me and I would prefer it slightly less warm - fussy aren't I??

Balloons
The theme this week on the Make My Monday challenge is BALLOONS of any type so I have chosen to go with an olde worlde hot air balloon using a stamp from Crafty Individuals. It was stamped twice and the balloon layered up after colouring the white card by 'mopping' up some mixed Distress Stains from a glass mat. Background paper is from the Papermania Chronology range and I've raided my bits boxes for other items to include - luckily I had this die cut clock, the scrap of card stamped with cogs and the ticket so was able to colour them with distress inks to match. I stamped the words and cut them out to resemble the chit chat stickers so apart from the backing paper the rest of the card has utilised things I already had around - they just needed finding and putting together.
I hope you are all enjoying the lovely weather although I must say that when you get really hot just sitting still it is a bit too much for me and I would prefer it slightly less warm - fussy aren't I??

Love the composition of this one Val and super stamping. I am loving this weather off course and would love to see from one of those balloons if I was brave enough. The modern ones fly over our house often at the moment. (your comment dissapeared from my post so I don't know what blogger is doing) xx Flora

No, not fussy, just sensible. I do like the vintage idea of the balloon - great pairing with the TH die too.

Great card Val. Absolutely love the mix of colours on the balloon image and the clock fits behind perfectly. Hope you got my link about the embossing folder? Agree about getting hot just sitting...........still we'd moan if it was raining! lol

Love this card Val. It's so good to use up your bits and bobs isn't it. Just think, if it's too hot to go outside then you just have to stay in and craft!

I also prefer it less hot, At the beach the other day I remained covered up and in the shade(wind break) but I loved being in the sea.
