Flying by to Say Hi

Hello!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!! I was busy making a bunch of cards, my mojo is back!! Yay!! I'm trying to get ahead.... we will see how that goes!! LOL! Today's card is one that i made this weekend for The Alley Way Stamps, called a flashback card because i used some older TAWS stamps!

I started by cutting the biggest balloon die from Simon Says Stamp from some white card stock. I scored a line along the top of one balloon, about an inch or so below edge. Next i adhered both balloons together above the score line.

Next i picked out a masculine pattern paper pad and stamped the cute air plane from Priceless Joy. I stamped it on two different patterns, cut them out and added the darker pattern to just the planes nose and blades.

I chose two other patterns, one for the balloon background and the other for some clouds. I first cut the clouds border, then adhered it to the background pattern, then cut both out from the big balloon. Next i adhered the cut balloon to my balloon card base. To make the card stand up i trimmed the end that you would tie some string to, and made it flat.

For the sentiment i die cut a notched banner and stamped the Flying by to Say Hi. Oh i almost forgot, i inked the edges of the pattern paper and banner lightly with some distress ink. I added a couple enamel dots to both ends of the banner, then added it and the plane to the balloon card with foam tape.

Also The Alley Way Stamps is having a little sale!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
