I realize that I already made a card today, but when I saw that Taylor was celebrating her 100th Sketch Challenge, I just felt the need to make another! When I saw the sketch, I thought it would be appropriate to incorporate Taylor's adorable Cuppie cupcake image, and I adapted the elements to create a big, happy hot air balloon just for Cuppie.For my hot air balloon, I cut a circle out of some pretty cardstock and then cut to fit the sketch. I drew my own basket and placed the little sweet Cuppie inside,
complete with a Liquid Pearl cherry on top. For rope, I used some hemp twine. Instead of the circle element, I substituted a cloud, cut out of felt and stamped my sentiment directly on the material. For a final touch, I broke out the sewing machine and stitched around the cloud-filled sky. Happy 100 to Taylor's challenge, and I hope my card brings someone some high-flying birthday wishes!BEAN NOTES: Taylored' Expressions For the Love of Cupcakes (sentiment) and Holiday Wonder (Cuppie); Stampin' Up Real Red and Close to Cocoa Classic Dye Ink; SU Stampin' Write Marker (Chocolate Chip); DCWV Sweet Stack Designer Mat Paper; SU Welcome Neighbor Designer Series Paper; SU Baja Breeze, Real Red, Pretty in Pink, Basic Gray, and Close to Cocoa Cardstock; Sewing Machine and White Thread; Mini Brads (generic); Foam Dimensional Squares (generic) HAPPY BEANS: White Craft Felt; SU Hemp Twine
