Here is what I created for this week:
I went for the obvious but had so much fun doing it. I used my Silhouette die cutting machine to cut the Hero Arts Clouds image and adhered the die cut to the white card base. The die cut adds texture to the card even though it is adhered directly to the card base using just adhesive tape. The large die cut takes centre stage because it is not layered with multiple embellishments which hide it or clutter the card. Therefore the card remains CAS.

ReplyDeleteGreat idea, Tracey ! Love all the clouds, and the sweet diecut grass.
ReplyDeleteFabulous Tracey! I love that the clouds are the negative part of the die cut (if that makes any sense!)
ReplyDeleteOh my...this is just too cute! reminds me of the movie Up, but you have a hot air balloon instead of a house. Such a sweet card, so bright and colorful and it just brings a smile to my face.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool Tracey! I love that you used the negatives from the clouds :) What a sweet sky you made!
ReplyDeletefabulous card, tracey!! the little hot air balloon is so perfect against the cloud background!
ReplyDeleteYour card is really outstanding, Tracey! I know the adorable balloon is a focus pocus, but I love the clouds and all that inviting grass! I picture myself laying in it, staring up into the clouds and seeing what imaginary shapes they form!!
ReplyDeleteLove your interpretation of the sky. I've never thought to cut out that many clouds, but it looks so cool.
ReplyDeleteI love all the fabby clouds!!
ReplyDeleteI admit...

I would have never thought to cut the whole sky but it looks so fabulous so I learned something today! :)
Great idea to use the whole sky area for the negative die cutting for the clouds ~ love the colorful balloon!
ReplyDeleteI just adore all the clouds!! And that pop of color from the hot air balloon is fabulous. Great card!

ReplyDeleteI almost went for a balloon too! I love that cloud background and the grass. The perspective is almost like you're lying in the grass and looking up at the clouds and the balloon. Very cool. :)
