Flying by to say Hi!



These are the cards I made for the November Card Swap over at Craftmad.  We had to swap two cards using the theme 'Up in the Air'.  Of course, I googled and saw lots of button balloons so had to have a go.  I started with white card stock and three cloud shapes I had hand cut from paper.  I then inked around the cloud edges to create the sky background.  Next, I put that cloud background through the printer to add the sentiment.  Out came the sewing machine so that I could sew the background onto the front of the card and attach the hills.  The baskets for the balloons are scraps of black paper with a gold pattern.  I hand drew the ropes attaching the basket.  Such a fun card to make and great way to use these fun buttons I have collected.  (Thanks Kaye.)


This is the second card I made, I decided it was high time I dug out my copic pens and give them a work out.  So I coloured this fun spaceship image that I had collected in my file, sorry I don't know that owner but if you do I would love to share the credit.  After colouring it was a simple card to put together.  I cut around the image and attached him to some star patterned paper then attached the card with the sticker sentiment and star brad.


Well another day has started not sure where it will take me but I am sure I will fill every moment. Take care and thanks for popping on by.

    1. Hi Gail, when I printed the paper through for the greeting it was A5 size and then I trimmed it to the size I needed. So could straighten there if needed. We have a Canon MP550 which I find easy to use.
