The challenge is You Make Me Smile/Thinking of You. For my card, I cut out the hot air balloon and clouds from the Every Day Pop-Up Cards cartridge and used the negative space for the hot air balloon to fill with twine. The basket is from Doodlecharms. I embossed the light blue background with my Cuttlebug and cut the grass below with my Martha Stewart fringe scissors. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up!
I just love twine from The Twinery that Kimberly at My Craft Spot sells....it is a perfect accent for any card. I just wrapped some twine around a scrap piece of cardstock that is slightly bigger than the negative space I wanted to fill like this:
I then adhered it under the negative space on my card where the hot air balloon goes. I added some dimensional adhesive under the card front so that there was space for the twine wrapped card underneath it and then adhered it to my card base. I finished off the card with some more twine wrapped around the edge of the card. I hope that you enjoy my card today and will join us this week at My Craft Spot.
Hugs,
Amy
