Hot Air Balloon Valentine

Wonderful news I'm a new DT of Cuttin' & Stampin' on the Orange Team. Ck out the Cuttin' & Stampin' Blog Hop by clicking on the dates: Jan 31 & Feb 1. Ends 2/6.

Click the following for:
Vintage Valentine OSAAT DT Ch198 
OSAAT DT Ch198 Anything Goes.


Created this Valentine card using Victorian Romance Cricut cartridge for the Hot Air Balloon. 

Used Kraft Journal store Buff Ivory cardstock for banner & part of Hot Air Balloon basket that peeks thru the heart cutout of basket. 

Used scrap piece of Sky Cloud paper. Used a Wilton doily. 

Stamped Recollections sentiment on banner. Took a couple trys to get the sentiment to stamp with all the ink showing surrounding the words. I've learned that most stamps need to be seasoned as in tried out couple times before they stamp with no glitches.

Added buttons & ribbon.
