A while back I had cut some CS for a project and was left with a white diagonally cut section that I set aside. Yesterday I found it tucked inside some other paper and decided to use it. I added a piece of PP, from my stash, at the bottom making sure that the panel would fit onto a regular card front. Some washi tape was added because I didn’t like the line. To relieve the starkness of the white I added some colour left on a sponge and I also went around the edges of the panel and the circle. My hot air balloon is fussy cut from a store bought card I received for my birthday. I liked the image and figured it would be used at some point. I added foam strips behind and then attached it as you see. The circle sentiment is a freebie received via Natasha Foote’s channel.
I hadn’t planned this card for a challenge, but in looking I see it works for the Sisterhood of Crafters balloon challenge, so I’m entering it there. Sometimes having something easy to create is pleasant.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are all enjoying a nice weekend. Ours has sunshine, but it isn’t as hot at the moment so it is easier to deal with.
