I just LOVE hot air balloons! I can't help but smile when I see them! We were at my Mom's on Memorial Day weekend, and had to stop in Lowe's for some painting supplies. When we left the store, the sky was filled with hot air balloons! Upstate SC has a Freedom Weekend Aloft celebration each year, and it's so much fun!

This week's new release at the A Day For Daisies shop is all about hot air balloons! They're SO CUTE!!
I chose to color the Happy Hot Air Balloon. Definitely adorable and so much fun!

The balloon is a piece of patterned paper that I sponged with Ranger Distress inks. I colored the rest with Copic markers, gave the background a mottled look using Marianne's "Nasty Rag" technique, and dotted the background with some Star Dust Stickles. There's a good bit of stitching going on here too!
I'm entering this in 2 challenges:

Well, it sure doesn't look like a ten minute card! I love it! Fun that you went with circles instead of stars.

Whoops...didn't mean to post that with this one...was referring to your 10 minute card post. But I do love this hot air balloon...the texture is wonderful!
