Hello to all my friends, followers and fellow bloggers. Thanks for dropping by today.
A really quick card today to enter into the Happy Little Stampers February Sketch challenge. Here is the sketch:
I thought it was so pretty that the temptation was to actually recreate it!!! But I think that defeats the point..............so here is what I came up with:
I started off with a blank 5 x 7 card and using Memento London Fog stamped Stampin Up Off the Grid stamp and then over stamped with three different Paper Artsy Mini grunge stamps. I then die cut two mini and one normal Memory Box hot air balloons out of d/p from my stash. Popped them up with silicone and then stamped the sentiment from Sheena Douglass's A Little Bit Sketchy Only Words - From the Heart using SU Pumpkin Pie ink.
This also fits with the Showcase your Style challenge. Thanks for the heads up Dippy. Here is their challenge photo:
