Hello all, a new week here. I am to a busy start, need to step out in a while, have some time on hand, so posting a card which is sitting on my desk.
I was inspired by the CTS sketch to make this card, and that solo balloon had been calling for some sewing, so ended up adding stitches. I hand drew the balloon and the string, and then pierced the holes, and chose a shaded embroidery thread to add the eyelet stitches to the balloon.
The sentiment is from HLS - mix mash, I stamped in black and heat embossed using a clear embossing powder. I decided to add some splatters using black, and festive berries distress inks. A few rhine stones to finish off. The front panel is adhered using foam adhesive.
