Unwind... Hot air balloon in silhouette on hand coloured background card - Day 249 of my 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

Today's handmade card for my 365 day challenge is another hand
coloured one along with a Tattered Lace die...


How I made this card:-

  • I first of all coloured a white label tag (you can get a pack of 20 really cheaply) using Tim Holtz Distress Oxides - yellow, orange and green -but you could use watercolour pens or even the Spectra Bleeding Art Tissue to create the background though these could make the paper/card to "cockle"...
  • I then cut out the Hot Air Balloon (from Tattered Lace) from black cardstock (I used Lynda Chapman's) and attached it to the label using Midas Touch Sticky dots.
  • I edged the panel using a black alcohol marker (I think I left it the wrong way up as I can see it is a bit patchy).
  • Hunkydory used to have pre cut A6 cards in Adorable Scorable but you could easily cut your own card to fit and so I had this gold coloured one left and so glued the label tag on to the card at an angle using Gina K Connect glue.
  • I wanted a sentiment that reflected the topper, so masked off some of the words in the stamp from Thirsty Brush & Co and inked directly on to the stamp red and green Altenew Ink cubes - I breathed slightly on to it to reactivate it and stamped on a pre cut white label/tag and edged it with the red ink.
  • I placed it at the bottom right hand corner using foam pads,
  • Finally, I added some Gina K Crystalline Drops on either side of the card and left them to dry as they go clear. 

And there you are  a general uplifting card that would be great to give to someone to say you are thinking of someone and there would be a different background every time.
