Balloon Duo Congratulations...

Hi there,

I've had a pretty hectic couple of weeks so haven't had a lot of time to 'play' but I did manage to get something made this afternoon for the Dynamic Duo and Paper Players challenges.


I haven't done vintage/shabby chic in a while so I went in that direction, adding Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla as my neutrals...


I used the fabulous Up, Up & Away set from the Summer mini catty, stamped first in Bashful Blue then with the pattern over the top in Marina Mist. I cut them out, sponged Crumb Cake ink around the edges and covered with Heat & Stick powder and Dazzling Diamonds glitter. The papers are from the Beau Chateau pack. I added my favourite accessories (well apart from buttons lol!) - lace, pearls and seam binding ribbon.

Here's the recipe:
Stamps: Up, Up & Away, Curly Cute
Ink: Bashful Blue, Marina Mist, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake
Paper: Beau Chateau dsp, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla
Tools: Circles #2 die, Perfect Pennants die, Distressing tool, heat & stick powder
Accessories: Lace trim, pearls, Crumb Cake seam binding ribbon, dazzling diamonds glitter

Thanks for stopping by!

    Wow, this is stunning! I did not get on the balloon bandwagon, but after seeing these, especially with the Beau Chateau paper and that GORGEOUS ribbon, I want to take a ride! Thanks for playing with my sketch at the Paper Players this week!

    Amy, I am in love with your sparkly balloons. I'm also madly in love with this color scheme. Crumb Cake was the perfect neutral accent and really helps to highlight the blue. LOVE IT. So glad you joined the Paper Players this week
