Today's card is a simple one, but we all need to make some of those once in a while. The inspiration behind this one was the gorgeous yellow sky DSP found in the Big Top Birthday pack. This is one of the sheets that has a full page design, but as you can see, it looks beautiful cut up as well.
I stamped the hot air balloons from the Up Up & Away set on a piece of white cardstock, handcut them then popped them up on the paper with Dimensionals. I added birds from the same set in the background, stamped in black directly on the paper. At the bottom, I created a banner with a sentiment stamp from the Happiest Birthday Wishes hostess set. I then added aditional clouds that were created with the cupcake punch.
That easy!
