This is for TLC75 challenge to use a balloon filled with objects to create a background. I had no balloon so I used a sandwich baggie filled with brown rice to stamp the bg on the main card and both layers behind main image. Fun challenge. When I first read it I sort of turned my nose up and didn't think I wanted to try it. I decided to slap myself and make myself go for it anyway. I really liked the outcome. I hand wrote my sentiment. Oh....and I hope I can get over using the new colors soon. I just can't help myself. I love that Cool Caribbean and Marigold.
PS I used Bashful Blue for the sky and Creamy Caramel for the ground. The two colors distracted from the look of the card so I sponged caribbean over the bashful blue sky and marigold over the caramel ground and made them connect much better.

Great card Kittie -- glad you slapped yourself too!!!! (I turned my nose up too, ran some errands and then made myself do it later in the day) I'm loving these colors together too -- they look so good together!
