I've given myself a quarterly challenge this year. For this second quarter, I'm doing a series of Flea Market Flip cards. What that means is I'm going to yard sales, thrift stores and such and finding non-papercrafting items to use on cards.
I found a package of Happy Birthday balloons at the local thrift store for a dollar and decided they would work for this last card in my Flea Market Flip series.
The stamp I used is part of the Penny Black Paint the Town stamp set. I took a sharp pair of scissors and hand-cut the shape of a balloon out of one of the balloons from the package and glued it onto the image.
