I have also loved working on a bit smaller focal point using the A2 Scalloped Vertical dies from Papertreyink (PTI). For this one, I layered the focal point onto another die cut - this one from MFT and then a regular base card.
The designer paper is from Altenew; I used a portion of 3 different papers to die cut and stamp the balloons. I added glitter to just the bottom portion of the balloons for a fun detail. The clouds are from Right at Home (RAH) and stamped 2nd generation with MFTs Sno Cone; I also colored the sky area with a Copic BG0000; super light! The grass was colored with Copics and I used a nubby rag and Copic Colorless Blending Solution for some texture and colored pencils for the shadow.
