PTI VIntage Balloon Ride


Hello,


Hope your Tuesday was/is terrific (covering all the bases there). Today I'm sharing a card I made for a PTI swap on SCS that I am in using the PTI set "Up, Up and Away". I used Cherry Cobbler and Mellow Moss for my primary cardstock colors, and added some designer paper from K& CO (Classic K McKenna). I wasn't really trying for an overall holiday-looking card, but I think this would make a nice after-christmas thank you card. Since I used a darker cardstock base, I placed a lighter shade of designer paper on the inside (which was cut with the top note die). The Mellow Moss Gingham is retired from SU.  No sketch was used this time, I just kept layering pattern papers until I came up with something I liked. 


If you are wondering about the background change, It's the best I could come up with for supporting the Badgers in the Rose Bowl this week...... :-) 


Thanks for stopping by.....


Hugs ~ LJ
