soft and stitched thank you.

I have a card on the lawn fawn blog this morning.

I used the hot air balloon die-cuts, but also paper-pieced the images.  I love the white border around the images, and wanted to keep that, even if I was doing a lot of hand-cutting...

The card was created for the memorial day OWH blog hop.  The information and links are on the lawn fawn blog!

Vintage blue skies

Happy Sunday, and welcome to lawn fawn inspiration week!  I'm so excited to be able to share the new sets - they are all so adorable!

Today, we're highlighting "blue skies," a hot air balloon set with lawn fawn flair:

I stamped the adorable hot air balloon, colored it in with copics and then stamped the chevron pattern from "interlocking backdrops" over-top for some subtle pattern.  A flying banner was easy to create: I stamped the full banner, and just drew in a few lines to close it off and make it look like the balloon was carrying it across the *pink* sky.

The clouds are subtle, but so cute!  (I love that they are flat-bottomed, don't you?) I stamped them in a pink ink, and then swiped some copic shading into them.

I hope you like today's card!  See you tomorrow for more lawn fawn inspiration ♥
