Bella with Balloons

Another clean and simple card for you today - I am really enjoying rediscovering the joys of a simple card.  There is something quite liberating about not having to worry and fuss over matching papers and embellishments!


For this little one I have used Wild Rose Studio - Bella With Balloons, coloured with Distress Inks (ReInkers) and matted with some DCWV cardstock.  The border punch is a Martha Stewart which I did in both directions of the card strip, and a Hero Arts sentiment to finish off.

For a change we have sunshine today and the forecast is for a dry day ..... but I still have my umbrella with me, just in case.  This is England after all!

    Well if I colored as well as you, I wouldn't be fussing about either! LOL A great image, as superbly colored as you do them, can stand alone and make a fantabulous card. With my coloring (although improving, I think), I need some distraction. hee hee

    I'm glad you are enjoying your craft lately. Hope the mojo is firing on all cylinders again. Mine is itching to get something done, so hopefully I will crafting up a paper tornado of my own this week. =) Love & hugs, Beanie
