transported ted

I have hasrdly done any crafting over the weekend, been craft spending, but not creating!!
I have made this card for a firend's little girl who is not too good at the moment. I have alos managed to combine the Sketch Saturday, Secret Crafters (decoupage) and the Basic Grey (embossing) on this challenge :-)

The image is of course by Penny Black and i stamped it out three times, and watercoloured 2 of them. On the third I heat embossed the balloons as I still can't find my glossy accents. I layered them up ...

I used Basic Grey Urban Priarie papers and blue cardstock. I covered the chipboard corners and used ribbon from my stash. The sentiment is hand written in gold pen. Instead of flowers I used die cut balloons.
Ellie says it is pretty so I think it will be loved!
