Up in the Air

| tinwhistlecrafts

Another card I made, this time using the Hot Air Balloon cut file from Cut to You.

Products used

  • Cut to You Hot Air Balloon svg file
  • Craftsmart Born to Travel 12 x 12 paper pad
  • Anko mini tassels

Background

Balloon

  • Cut svg file on my Brother Scan n Cut out of white card stock. I used a smooth 300gsm weight.
  • The balloon and basket are then backed with patterned paper. I also painted a few of the banner pieces with red gold watercolour paint and pieced them back in the cut design.

Clouds

The paper pad had a sky pattern included so I used that as the base of the background. I cut the clouds out of the same paper and inked the inside pieces with distress oxide ink and adhered them to the background. The cut border of the clouds I cut out of white and adhered them back in place.

Sentiment

The ā€˜bon voyageā€™ sentiment was foiled with my Foil Quill using the draw function on my Scanncut. To create the shadow I had created an offset file from the original file and set that to cut.

The ā€˜Hello Worldā€™ sentiment was simply a part of a piece of the patterned paper pad.

Once I adhered everything I wanted to add one more gold accent and I had the perfect mini tassel to use so I attached it to the balloon. I also used a adhesive dot to make sure it didnā€™t move around too much.

Hope you like this creation.

Thanks for stopping by and have a good day.
