Well, this piece was started with with an idea for the Cheerful Stamppad where challenge #15 is "Are we there yet?". Thought the vintage ballon guy was saying just that. LOL. I am also entering it to Moxie Fab World "In my beautiful balloon challenge" too. I started with a black and white image from the Dover book on Transportation. I layered the colorful transparency of ballons from Tartx. This was all put on music note paper that I used Fiskars scissors to edge and rubbed with Ranger Archival ink. I made the rosette with music paper, just by layering circles and stamped the center with "Bonjour" and adding some ribbon. The corners are stamped with architectual details and colored in with pencil. Cut out the ballon images and added the bling, metal corners and rhinestones. Voila , it was done.
Artfully yours,
gerri

this is just gorgeous and well deserving of the blue (and red and white) ribbon (that's what we call first prize rosettes in the pony club, lol).
