Up Up and Away

Hi girls. I am afraid I didn't have a card yesterday but I have had a bad couple of days. I appreciate that some of you have still called in and left messages. They are all much appreciated.
I got quite a few complimentary comments about my craftroom the other day. It's the first time I've done the Wednesday thing and I will give it a go again sometime. I love looking at everybody else's workspaces.
I made this card a bit plainer than my normal girly style because if I'm honest I was lacking in energy. The "papers" are two shades of Bazzil Spot card and the image is in fact a hand drawn copy of a Papertray Ink stamp I saw some time ago. I drew it on a background of the Hero Arts Design Block called "Clouds". The buttons, ribbon and gems are all from my stash.
I hope you like this card and I would love to read any comments you may have time to leave for me.
I hope you all have a great day and that everything you do is a success. Take care.
Hugs,

  1. I love the card Fiona - it makes a change to do something different and you have done it well. I love the idea of the buttons as balloons.
    My dad went up in a balloon last year and had a crash landing lol! Memorable!
    Hope you feel a little better tomorrow

  14. sorry to hear you are not so good Fiona. I hope visiting all those desks isn't to blame because even those of us who haven't been through what you have can get very tired at the end of the night!
    Love this card and doesn't it show that you can do a very different style - love it, so on trend with those buttons.
