You Lift Me Up Easel Card
Kylie’s International Blog Highlights
Thanks for coming to my blog today. I am so happy to be taking part in Kylie Bertucci’s blog highlights. This is a monthly card challenge and you get to choose the winners! There are lots of amazingly creative people from around the world taking part. The top ten winners will get to be part of an International Blog Hop, so please vote for me. You can vote for me here.
The theme we have is encouragement, thankfulness and gratitude so I pulled out a stamp/die bundle that I thought would be perfect for this. It’s called Lift Me Up.
It’s full of hot air balloon stamps, clouds and great sentiments with a set a coordinating dies called Up And Away, including this fab detailed large hot air balloon die
I wanted to make an easel card and having it looking like the balloon was rising up and away from the clouds – to fit the sentiment I chose – “Thanks For Lifting Me Up”
The balloons are cut using the Grapefruit Grove Foiled Papers – free from Saleabration. Can you see the rainbow of colour when the light shines on it? I was going for a kind of sunset feel. I’ve used the dies that allow you to cut out sections to fit the back of the balloon in vellum to echo the fabric of a real hot air ballon.
I die cut the clouds in Balmy Blue and Whisper White to match the card and raised them up on Dimensionals to support the Easel part of the card.
Inside the card I have used the “Thanks” sentiment in Balmy Blue ink.
I know exactly who I’m going to send this card to! I love how it turned out, I hope you do
