I pulled out my old Martha Stewart balloon punch to make some colorful balloons from snippets and that's where this card began. I embossed a background snippet of SU! cardstock (I think it's Coastal Cabana) with a Tim Holtz woodgrain embossing folder and found matching pieces of polka dot and striped dsp to match. The stitched frame was die-cut from a snippet of wood-grain dsp. and placed on top. That cute little mouse was done with a Gerda Stein stamp, colored with Copics and fussy cut and placed inside the window. the sentiment was done with Gina Marie Designs dies and some SSS white embossed cardstock, and I tied all the balloons together with some aqua twine. I was pretty pleased with how this turned out :)
I'll enter this into these challenges:
