It has been an interesting "Back to School" week. I have been trying to figure out a reasonable schedule for myself for gym visits and the dog. So, 6am gym visits are the new norm and the doggie is still snoozing! In the meantime, I have been making cards to find a design for my upcoming Open House. This is not the one, but it does fit with the "Just Us Girl" Balloon Challenge this week.
The mat colour is Thistle, which coordinated with my balloon image from, Balloon Wishes. I used my Shin Han Alcohol Markers to colour it in and I also added some accents of Stardust Glitz, too. I used a new My Favorite Things die to cut the balloon piece and Artiste for the sentiment banner.
All supplies are Close To My Heart, unless noted.
Stamp: Balloon Wishes
Cardstock: Thistle; Glacier; White Daisy
Ink: Glacier; Shin Han Alcohol Markers; Memento Black
Embellishments: retired Stardust Glitz
Tools: Confetti Embossing Folder; Artiste Cricut cartridge
Other: MFT Die-Namics Zig Zag Stitched Rectangles
