I used Cosmo Cricket's Garden Variety papers. I have had these for awhile and I don't think I have ever used them! In fact, Cosmo has already come out with their NEW line since then - Delovely! LOL! Back to Garden Variety, they are a perfect match for the Tangerine Tango cs and Martha Stewart's persimmon seam binding ribbon.
I pieced the balloon with pattern paper, outlined the clouds with some Copic markers and added a couple light blue pearls from the Zva pearl round wheel. The sentiment is from Verve's Dare to Be.
The layout is from this week's Card Pattern 64 sketch and my card is also for Verve's Up Up and Away: Ready Set Stamp challenge. The challenge is to use the stamp set Up Up & Away. You can check out the link for all the challenge details.
