I thought this balloon image needed to be in the spotlight since it's been in the background on most of my other cards! I stamped it in red craft ink and then heat embossed it with clear powder. I left the string uninked while inking the balloon and then inked it up with a marker and stamped the image. I love this grass image...it is so versatile! I stamped it first in green ink and then again in celery. I sponged celery with a cotton ball and then sponged light blue for the sky using a scrap scallop punch out to achieve the cloud look. I pierced two holes on either side of the string and added a floss bow. The sentiment is simple and to the point! I scored three lines on the left side with my Scor-pal.
Short, sweet and to the point! You could use this card for a child or a child at heart! I hope this inspires you...cards don't always have to be laden with embellishments to be special!
Hope you're having a great week...
See you soon...

So cute...love the clouds and grass, they are great!!
Perfect way to showcase that balloon! Sometimes doing "simple" cards are more difficult than ones with all the embellishments! :)
