The Hot Air Balloon.

Greetings from Italy and Switzerland! My husband and me went with another couple by plane to Milano and then by car to Switzerland for a few days. The weather was nice and we enjoyed our stay there. Now back at home and ready to make new cards! Today there's a Blog Party at Waltzingmouse. The theme is Felt and Cozy fabrics. I made a card using the sketch of this week's Sketch Challenge. I made the Hot Air Ballon of the Half Pint Heroines with pink and white felt, added three white felt clouds and a few birds. The background is made with one of the Gingham & Co stamp set.  I also made a bow with a heart and a tag. The text on the tag is from the Half Pint Heroes stamp set. Just a few gems and a little bow of twine on the girl's hair and here it is:




Here's the sketch #98 made by Lynn Mercurio:


Next Blog Party on the 17thWMSC98


Have a nice day! This photo was taken from the old town of Bergamo:
