Sending Smiles

Here's my card for the current challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.  I paired the layout with some images from Mama Elephant that I colored a few days ago for this month's Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge. 

I colored up the boy and large balloon images from the Carried Away set using Copic markers.  After cutting out the colored images with the matching dies, I used foam tape to adhere them to a narrow light blue panel.  I trimmed the red balloon so that it was even with the panel's edge before matting the panel on a contrasting darker blue one. The panel was adhered to a light blue card base with a strip of red cardstock along the right side.  The "sending smiles" sentiment from the Up and Away set was stamped to the right of the panel in navy ink.  I wanted to use one of the Carried Away set's birthday sentiments, but there just wasn't enough room...

Materials Used:
Carried Away and Up and Away stamp sets, Carried Away dies (Mama Elephant); Memento Tuxedo Black and Nautical Blue inks (Tsukineko/IMAGINE Crafts); markers (Copic); Spring Rain and Enchanted Evening cardstock (Papertrey Ink); Real Red cardstock (Stampin' Up!); foam tape
