It's just been such a busy week and of course the weather has been so nice so in between collecting teddies that have been thrown from prams we have spent a little time outside planting a couple of pots.
I made this last week for the LIM challenge and here I am on the last day for linking in uploading it!
Used some old foliage stamps inked with Peeled Paint on the bottom.
Mounted it onto black card.
the balloon was a download which I fussy cut and decoupaged, coloured with promarkers.
The 'clouds' sadly are not very good! Have been meaning to buy a cloud die for a long time and never got round to it - so it was a printed download and freehand cut!
Doesn't look too bad in real life I suppose!
Sentiment stamped onto bottom of white card and the balloon centrepiece added.

Viv, your sponged inking looks fabulous! Your freehand cut clouds add character to the card...well done!
That background is marvelous with the great sponging. You've blended these colors so seamlessly. Love the grassy look on the ground, and that balloon just looks like so much fun. Love your color choices too! TFS & Happy coming wkend. Hugs
Well, first off, I love that sediment!! (Can you tell me who makes it? I'm sorry if you said and I didn't spy it.) Secondly, great sponging, Viv! I adore your pretty pink sky! It's perfect for your handmade clouds and awesome balloon! Enjoy the weekend!! Hugs, Darnell
