On Cloud 9

For this week’s SCS sketch challenge, I pulled out Love in the Air, one of the new releases from Our Craft Lounge, for this sweet Valentine’s Day card. It was a nice change from the wintery and holiday ones I've been making a lot of lately!

I colored the hot air balloon in shades of pink and red and cut it out. It’s set on a dot embossed light blue sky panel with dimensional dots. Sugar Sparkly Fluff covered clouds peek out from behind the balloon.

A pink gingham circle is set on the lower right side of the pink card base. After placing a strip of red faux suede ribbon across the card, I added the image panel. The "cloud 9" sentiment is stamped on a red sentiment flag strip and slipped under the edge of the balloon.

Don't forget to check out the sale going on at i {heart} papers. This set--and lots of other items--are marked down as part of Kate's end of the year inventory blow out . . .
