Hang In There, Friend!

Today I'm back to sharing digital images - this one from Lee Holland Art, 'Panda on Helium Balloon'.  

While I made this for a recent 'balloon' challenge, it was perfect for a friend who is taking care of several ill family members.

I sized the image so the balloon was almost at the top of my 4" block on my template and the string was at the bottom.  

After coloring the bear and balloon with my Copic markers I used Gina Marie Designs Label Six Nesting Dies to get the fluffy cloud edge.   Next I used a cloud stencil and Distressed Oxides Fossilized Amber to make the background clouds. 

I selected the striped background and covered the A2 card front.  I pulled the sentiment from my stash and added foam to the back, but it was lost when I put it just across the bottom of the clouds.  So I added another horizontal strip of the patterned paper across the bottom of the card, then added the raised sentiment. 

Lastly I found the hello image while looking for a button to go in the balloon center.  It fit perfectly and matched the background colors too.  I secured it with a heavy duty glue dot and added the gold dot to cover the predrilled hole to complete my card.
