The Twofer Card Challenge this month is Balloons.
I chose a hot air balloon with a cute chick from DeNami Designs.
The first is a graduation card for a local school with the school colors of black and gold.
The designer background is from a pre-printed card set from The Paper Studio. I colored the balloon and chick with gold star gel pen and SU blends. It is popped up with a foam square. The SOAR is die cut in cold metallic paper with Tim Holtz dies. I added 5 punched gold star accents. Inside, I added a strips of black and metallic gold to reinforce the school colors.
The second card is a Valentine
I used an SU embossing heart folder on the background. The arrow is a die cut from CAS-UAL Fridays Stamps. The sentiment from SU just fits on the arrow.
This second one is also for Let's Squash It!! #5 challenge with theme of Love and Red.
For this one, I used the sketch from Fresly Made Sketches
