Is it too soon?

F4A850 - chillin

I think sailing quietly thru the sky must be a great way to chill.
After stamping the balloon on the panel, I paper pieced several sections (leftovers from previous uses), others I just colored. I stencilled the cloudy sky, drew a few flying birds in the sky, added some hills cut from DP and drew faux stitching on them, then stamped a few trees in the foreground.
I made this card to farewell our friends.

Love that paper-pieced balloon. Wonderful card - sweet sentiment. The idea of floating through the air sounds like great fun - but in actuality I fear I would be terrified the entire time. :-)

Really a delightful card with the patchwork hot air balloon sailing over the hilly green landscape, Cindy. Indeed, a lovely way to chill.

There’s such a charming storybook feel to this scene — the patchwork hot‑air balloon drifting over those stitched hills is wonderfully whimsical. The mix of paper‑pieced patterns gives the balloon so much personality, and the softly stenciled sky with the hand‑drawn birds adds a gentle sense of movement.

I was trying to figure out how you made your balloon patchwork. Goodness, that is gorgeous!! Thank you for explaining your process. Love that little sweet greeting. It pairs perfectly with your handmade balloon.

Cindy, this is a wonderful card - lot's of movement by slanting the balloon, the birds (which I must say are the Bomb-digity!), and your stitched border and grassy hillside, love it - doodling a border is loads of fun!

I love the patchwork balloon and the pretty hills. You did a great job with stenciled sky. You made such a pleasing scene.
