Love Is in the Air

Here’s my card for this week’s CAS-ual Friday sketch challenge. I made a sweet Valentine’s Day card based on the sketch.

My focal image is the hot air balloon from the Across the Miles set from Clear and Simple Stamps. The balloon’s colored with Copic markers and cut out. I used foam tape to attach it to a dot embossed light blue “sky” panel. A few die cut felt clouds dot the sky and give the panel a little more texture.

I added a red grosgrain ribbon strip beneath the image panel. It’s accented with a matching button tied with a little baker’s twine. The "love is in the air" sentiment’s stamped right on the kraft cardfront, squeezed in to the narrow space between the bottom of the panel and the ribbon.

Materials Used:
Across the Miles stamp set, Perfect Little Black Dress ink, Trendsetter Blue, Dare to Be a Diva Red, and Kraft Like a Rockstar cardstock, Copic markers (R12, R22, R24, R27, E23, E25), cloud die from Spring die set, Dare to Be a Diva Red button, Divine Twine red baker’s twine (Clear and Simple Stamps); Polka Dot embossing folder (Cuttlebug); white felt; foam tape
