The World Needs More You

Here's my card for this week's My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge.  I represented the layout's balloon element with a section of a retired MFT die, You Mean the World to Me.  I cut the globe part of the die from bright aqua cardstock, then backed it with a green circle to fill in the negative space of the continents/land.  After adding a tiny triangle to make the globe into a balloon, I adhered it to a pale aqua card base with a black "string" drawn on it.  To go with the balloon's earth theme, I found a world themed sentiment in the More Essential Sentiments set and stamped it in aqua ink on a long lime slanted sentiment strip.  The strip was positioned over the globe balloon to finish the card.

Materials Used:
More Essential Sentiments stamp set, You Mean the World to Me and Slanted Sentiment Strips dies (My Favorite Things); Cookie Monster ink (Taylored Expressions); Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores, Simply Chartreuse, and Limeade Ice cardstock (Papertrey Ink); circle dies (Spellbinders); foam tape
