Coming to pick you up "In my Beautiful Balloon!"




Here's my first entry for Moxie Fab's fab challenge to use Hot Air Balloons in an innovative way.
This is actually a card I started out making for the Tuesday Trigger - Decadently Yours but never got to finish. But took the chance now because even if it isn't the most beautiful balloon you've ever seen, at least I hope it is a little inventive (-;
I stamped 5 balloons from the Up and away set and cut them out, folded them and glued them together to create the little 3d ballooon.
Inspired by the TT pic I used paper cups (or whatever they might be called in English) for the basket and the balloon was supposed to resemble one of the truffles.

All the stamps I've used are from PTI, Up, up and away, Wonderfully Whimsical, and Tiny Treats Christmas.

Have a great day, hugs Karin

HERE you find my second entry which is much more "Karin" in style!!!
Also I thought I could show you the lamp I made for Ted last year - it is just a ricepaper lamp from IKEA that I attached a little basket to with braided ribbons and decorated with bows and little "sand" bags:

    This is incredible, Karin! Love the rich colour scheme, and the 3-D balloon. Who says handsome princes only ride white horses? :)
