Balloons for Atlantic Hearts Sketch 145




This is the first time I have played with Close to My Heart's Kaleidoscope Paper.  I love the crisp. clear colors!  I based it on this Atlantic Hearts Sketch:




I cut the balloons using the Artiste Cricut cartridge (Happy Birthday key) and sponged the edges with ink to give them some dimension.  Then I cut slivers of white cardstock, coated them with liquid glass, and placed the balloons over top so that the liquid glass pushed through the hole to emphasize the highlights.  The front row of balloons and sentiment are popped up with foam tape.  Here is the inside:



Thank you for stopping by!  Until next time, Hansi

Materials used, all Close to My heart unless otherwise noted:
Paper:  Kaleidoscope, Pacifica, Gypsy, Pixie, Canary, Sunset, Pear and White Daisy cardstock
Ink:  Black, Pacifica, Gypsy, Pixie, Canary, Pear, and Sunset plus black journaling pen
Stamp:  Card Chatter - Birthday (retired)
Other:  Artiste Cricut cartridge
