\n<\/a><\/span><\/strong>My card is fairly quick since this fab die does almost all of the work for you! Since I first saw it, it’s been one of my faves (especially since I suggested it to Mary, way back when, lol)! I adore hot air balloons…it’s impossible not to smile & be happy when you see them. And I used it today because I have a friend who recently received some bad news, health wise & I’m sure she could use a smile.<\/span><\/p>\n

After die cutting the reverse hot air balloons<\/a><\/strong><\/span> out of cobalt, I found some paper that had these chevrons in blues & green & I thought it went perfectly w\/ the patterns in the balloons. I die cut the clouds part of the die again in white to add on top of the white stitched frame, then added the fussy cut speech bubble<\/a><\/strong><\/span> w\/ the greeting<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>in the lower right.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the inside using some of the leftover parts. (I also used a mask of the balloon die to sponge the blue ink on the side of the envelope.)<\/span>
