I finally started to get busy making Valentines, and created this one in the colors of white, blue and silver using an Inky Antics stamped image. I sponged clouds on the background with Tumbled Glass distress ink, then use a silver heart-shaped doily from my stash. The word balloon die is by PoppyStamps. I used SU! snippets of designer paper in Pacific Point blue along with black and white to add a 2nd balloon to match the one the bear is hanging onto. The bear was colored with Copics and fussy cut and I added liquid applique for his fuzzy little tail. The sentiment is also by Inky Antics.
I'll share this with the Double D Challenge of "Fun with Balloons"
as well as the Repeat Impressions J2220 challenge of "anything goes."
Thanks for stopping by today and make it a great day whatever you do!
