Hot Air Balloons

This car is a little different from the normal card that I make but I like it (even if I do say so myself) and its nice to do something else for a change.

This card is made for the following challenges:

• Travel - A Little Bit Crafty
• Digi & Bling - Feeling Crafty Challenge
• Card for a Boy or Man - Sentimental Sunday
• 3, 5 or 7 of something (3 balloons) - Top Tip Tuesday
• Stitching (Real or Faux) - Tuesday Throwdown

• Dimensional Cards (3D Balloons and clouds) - Little Red Wagon
• Anything Goes - Aud Sentiments, Stampin' For The Weekend
• Stitching & Birthday - Seize The Birthday
• Boys & Toys - Crafty Catz

I made this cards using the free hot air balloon and greeting stamps from Birds Cards. This site is brilliant and is where I got the cut file for the Little Red card I made yesterday. The jewels are from Papermania and the glitter is Stickles Glitter Glue. I cut the clouds using my Brother Scan 'N' Cut and coloured the balloons using Spectrum Noir pens. I printed each of the balloons three times and layered them using Pinflair Silicon Glue. The sky is made using my Color Box Petal Point ink pad.

Little Red

This card is made using more of my Gorjuss crafty stash. I made it for the for the following challenges:

• Children / Babies - Bizzy Becs Challenges
• Birthday - Whoopsi Daisy Challenges
• Young At Heart - Craft Your Passions Challenges
• Fairytales (Red Riding Hood) - Daring Cardmakers
• Photo Inspiration (Green & Red) - Pinspirational

I used the stamp Little Red from the Docrafts Gorjuss range the jewels are from Kanban, the ribbon is some of those that come from the Docrafts Goody bag. I cut the rounded corner mats and layers using my Brother Scan 'N' Cut and the border and decorative circle have also been cut using the Brother.

I had a few pieces of the card left over and I had coloured a spare little girl so I made a matching little card to go with it.

If anyone is thinking about getting the Brother I would definitely recommend it. I've had it for a couple of months now and it has never been back in the box.
