With Love Balloon in flight silhouette A6 card -  Day 220 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Well today's card is mix of Tattered Lace dies, Kuretake Watercolours for the background and a stamped sentiment! How I made this card:- I took a piece of white linen card (the back of an old card) and attached the Art Deco Tattered Lace frame which I had cut out in black card using Midas Touch Sticky dots.

I used the white paint from the Kuretake set to add the stars (and the eye) - I would have used a Gel pen but found it had dried out! I embossed/scored 2 lines at the top and bottom of the 7x5in w...
