Hot Air Balloons on a Rainy Day

Wow!  I am on my third post in a week.  I know that I won't be able to keep up this pace, but I do want to start out with something to "check out" when people are "checking out" my blog.  

I want to take a moment to say thanks to everyone for your kind and wonderful comments.  They brighten my day :)  Don't forget that you can sign up to receive my blog updates via email; just enter your email address in the space in the upper right hand side of my blog page.

On to the card...

Today started out sunny and bright here and then turned gloomy and rainy.  I love the rain, but the overcast sky means making cards by artificial light and that means shadows that lead to me constantly questioning. "is that straight?!"

My card for today is straight, bright and fun; perfect for a rainy day.  Each balloon is stamped, cut out, sponged and popped up with dimensionals.  The clouds are heat embossed.  I love the result and am super proud of this card.  Hope you enjoy...
