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.

Hi Vicki - just heard we have a newbie on board the Teapot party this week - LOVE your camouflaged balloons hiding in the clouds - how creative for you to use vellum for that - the paper pieced balloon looks terrific - how kind of you to make not 1 but 2 cards to send off to your friend and the destination as well - You have a thoughtful heart!!

Welcome to the teapot party - and you came with a beautiful and serene card! I love hot air balloons. I live near Lincoln, IL and there is a Hot Air Balloon Fest every August - tons of balloons in the air is an awesome sight! Hope to see you here again with another of your pretty cards.

Fabulous card. The fog looks so real. I'm sure your friend will be so pleased to receive it coming from your own hands. Welcome to the Teaparty. We'll russle up some cookies to go with the tea. Hope to see you back again.
