Papercraft Star Challenge 9 - Photo Inspiration

This week at Papercraft Star the designers were asked to use this picture for inspiration



The hot air balloons caught me right off the bat and looking at them I remember growing up and seeing a balloon in the sky and thought what would it be like to be up there and could just dream of flying high in the sky. And that was how this card developed.



I created the balloon using my gypsy of course. Cause can you believe I don't have a cartridge with a hot air balloon ... well not yet at least ;o). I used my trust old George and basic shapes and walk in my garden for the basket (but that could easily be changed with another shape). And lots and lots and lots of glitter. Gotta love the glitter!!!! The inside reads: "Everyday is another chance to make your Dreams come true."

I hope you will join us this week at Papercraft Star and submit your project for the challenge.
