Up, Up and Away - Papercraft Star

Good morning crafters!! Another challenge has opened at Papercraft Star and this week Kim has provided us with this fabulous sketch.

Halloween is almost upon us, so you would think that I would have a Halloween project to share but NOPE; today I have a hot air balloon card to share! Recently my family and I headed to the Balloon Fiesta to take in the amazing sight of all the fun and beautiful balloons that rise daily for two weeks in Albuquerque. We had a wonderful time and the balloons were so cool. Anyway, they provided a ton of inspiration.... 

Enough rambling, here is my card.

I did some flipping of Kim's sketch to come up with this layout. The background is heat embossed with glitter using heat & stick powder from Stampin' Up! I fussy cut some images from the Hot Air Balloons ATC 094 and Hot Air Balloon Digital Collage 003 digi sheets from The House Across The Bay to use as my focal point. 

I gave the balloons dimension by using foam tape and glue dots to adhere them. I wrapped some bakers twine around a few times and tied it in a bow to finish off the card. I think the card is super cute and I must admit I love the colors. 

Stop by the Papercraft Star blog and submit your entries for this week's challenge. You have until 6:00am EST on Monday October 31st to post your project to our Mr. Linky. I look forward to seeing your creativity!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
