Hello!

Here is my attempt at a blog and a post -- a little late start on my New Year's resolutions! Guess who hasn't started her diet yet either?

I made this card for my brother. Not quite as masculine as I would like it, but I wanted bright, cheerful colors for the hot air balloons. This is my favorite set by Papertrey Inc.

The technique involves versamark and 2 coats of white embossing powder for the clouds, colored pencils and OMS for the balloons and a couple of spritzes of Glimmer Mist over Spring Rain cardstock for the background.

   Thanks for looking!
