Hot Air Balloon Mother's Day Card

Created this Hot Air Balloon Mother's Day Card using a Ho Air Balloon rubber stamp, the negative image of the Hot Air Balloon from Everyday Pop Up Cards Cricut cartridge and Banner from Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge.

Stamped the Hot Air Balloon onto white cardstock. Cut the Hot Air Balloon out of the Cloud scrapbook paper from Everyday Pop Up Cards Cricut cartridge and used the negative image to attach the stamped image to the back of. Trimmed the negative image to show a bit more of the stamped image. Used glitter to add sparkle to the Hot Air Balloon flowers in the basket. Used Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge for the Banner. Used couple layers of blue cardstock. Added some gems to bling up the  Banner.
