Give a Lift Card

I saw a card which had been made by the uber talented Liza Stenz where she had

layered the pieces of this beautiful balloon - so I totally stole her idea :O)

I used the Balloon Ride paper which I adore.

I stamped the Hot Air Ballon image 4 times - twice on the blue patterned paper,

once on the cream patterned paper and once on Saddle cardstock.

I cut the the entire balloon image out of the 2 blue bases, and just the center band out of the

cream patterned paper and just the center piece from the Saddle cardstock.

I stamped the entire image onto the Colonial White cardstock center piece and then 

the first blue base was attached directly to it  and the other 3 pieces were attached with 

3D foam tape between them.

I stamped the basket and the flowers on a second piece of colonial white cardstock and carefully

cut out the image - I cut away some of the thinner flower stems just leaving the larger ones

to make it easier.

Then I colored the base image and the overlay with the Watercolor Pencils.

Again 3D foam tape popped it up for dimension.

I added a sparkle accent from the Rosewood Mini Medley and then either side of the Hot Air Balloon 

I added pieces of the Zipstrip. Bronze Shimmer Trim and lastly Balloon Ride B&T finished 

the center section.

I stamped the word Welcome in Cocoa ink and added a 2nd sparkle accent from the 

Rosewood Mini Medley.

I was thrilled with the finished result and hope you like it too xxx
