The challenge at CASology this week is 'UP', and I could not get the thought of a house being lifted by balloons out of my head. Shows you what kind of movies I typically go to. I pulled out my Wonderfully Whimsical stamps and my balloon dies, and did a little paper piecing to create my happy scene. I picked a sentiment from Destination--wouldn't it be fun to travel in a flying house, no matter where you ended up?
My next card is for this week's Muse #11, where we have this beautiful card from Laurie Willison. I love that I am supposed to case her card for this challenge. I was drawn to the sentiment nestled within a die cut frame, the text script background, that fun border punch, and the overall card sketch. OK, so I didn't change much...but I did not make EXACTLY the same card. I used Mat Stack 1, a sentiment from Birthday Bash Sentiments, and a musical background from Waltzingmouse. I am also entering this card into the Passion for Papertrey challenge to use a negative die cut.
I will be entering both of these cards into this week's Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge of Anything Goes.
