I printed out my Darling little Balloon Leslie onto Flourishes Classic White and did a little paper piecing using some Adorable dp's from MME's Lime Twist "Fly a Kite" collection and added a bit of coloring and shading with my trusty Copics. I added my Big fluffy clouds using my favorite cloud template from Bev Rochester ( that my Wonderful SRU team mate Marilyn Scheller shared with me), Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and a small stenciling brush... For my mats and BG pieces I used a combination Kraft CS from my stash and more dp's from MME's Lime Twist "fly a Kite" collection. Love these papers, I tell ya, they are so sweet and cheerful! I think I am becoming addicted to MME 8-).. lol Anyway,I popped up my Fun image panel with some dimensionals, added some neat little kraft photo corners and a touch of Glossy accents to the Hot Air Balloon's hearts and Leslie's glasses too! And to finish it all up, I stamped my Flourishes Sentiment onto a small matted up tag with Memento Rich Cocoa, added a few sweet adhesive pearls and a cute little epoxy chipboard heart button all tied up with a bit of yummy aqua bakers twine from MAD Stamper Finds... Pretty easy peasy, huh? 8-)..
Sure hope your all have a Wonderful Day & Thanks so much for Dropping in!
Love the glossy accents on her glasses and the little hearts!And that little hear with a baker's twine bow is so sweet! LOVE this card!

LOL..I love the way you end your post with pretty easy peasy. HAHAHA...I'll let you know once I get my bottom jaw back with the top one! This is freakin' adorable. NO, no, it doesn't look easy at all. That's what I love about your cards. They are little envelope sized masterpieces and any attempt to recreate on my part would be horrific. LOVE YOUR WORK!

Not for me, anyway ;) I love all the different papers (especially the blue paper with the crosshatch marks) and your entire image is fabulous. Great clouds and that little redheaded cutie is adorable. Don't you just love Glossy Accents! I love those photo corners, too. Hey, what's not to love. The card is amazing!!! Have a fantastic week! ~Hugs, Cheryl
