Teapot challenge - camouflage something on your card. I hid the some balloons in the "fog", which was made with vellum. I apologize for the bad photo - in real life, the background is much more vivid. I used watercolor crayons on watercolor paper.

I just happened to be taking a quick peek in the gallery tonight. Normally I do participate in the Teapot challenge, but lately my time has been devoted to caring for my dying BFF. I wanted to let you know that this card makes me think of where I live, with the coastal fog and hot air balloons that soar above. I am going to put my BFF and myself in one of these balloons and just sail away for a respite. So a big Thank you to you for the respite. It's a wonderful card!!

WELCOME to the TPT challenge! FUN card. Love the way you camouflaged your ballons w/the vellum ... makes it look like they're in the clouds. Love your paper pieced balloon as well.

Welcome to the Teaparty! You will be hooked on them, I promise! Mothermark hides cookies for the newbies, but she may have forgotten where she hid them.
I love your ballons hidden by the fog. and I love the saying.

Snort! But follow me....we will see if we can't scrounge up some cookies for you! Welcome! So glad you found the challenge and made this awsome card! I love your foggy velum, and what you did with water color crayons! Very creative and fun!!
