Happy Friday!
I hope your week has gone well! Is it HOT HOT HOT where you are? Pretty warm around here. Temps aren't too terrible (upper 80's) but the humidity is awful! To make it worse, our AC decided to take a little vacay. Of all the nerve! I almost couldn't finish this card..it was 80 degrees inside! Thank goodness the repair men were able to fix it the next afternoon.
My card today is a mix match of leftover watercolor backgrounds. I only had a small section left of the pink/orangey mix..just enough for all the hot air balloons. After I fussy cut them, I added just a little white pencil on the zigzag lines. The green/yellow bg was one of those that didn't really work when I made it. So I tried a technique where you take a fine line pen & outline all of the watercolor sections. I was surprised how much it improved the look of it & how I liked it behind the balloons. You just never know when a "fail" will work out in the future.
Here's the inside.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!
Supplies:
stamps:DRS Designs: 4 in 1 In the Sky, Hot Air Balloon, Another Year Flies (inside: Sunny Day Birthday Greeting )
paper: Staples 110# white, watercolor
