Guesting over at LIM

Good morning folks.
I can't keep my secret any longer as today I'm guesting over at Less is More!!!!

Guest Designer

I was so shocked when I got the message asking and I said yes in a shot.
LIM is one of my favourite challenges and I try to enter every week, so it was a no brainer really.
This week LIM are celebrating their 300th challenge!!!!!!!!!!! What a landmark.
So this week the challenge is

CELEBRATION/ FESTIVALS

So what to do?
After a little thought I came up with the idea of balloons as my theme, what says celebration more than that.
So here is my card for your inspiration.


As the latest challenge over at Uniko is about rainbows, I wanted to incorporate that colourful theme into my card. I started by stamping the 'celebrate' from STAMPlorations Sentiment Builders 'Celebrate' set, embossing it in silver then die cut a selection of balloons. Rather than use coloured card I cut them in white and coloured them with Copics, adding freehand 'strings' with a fine liner after I had stuck them to my panel in more or less rainbow order. I trimmed down the overhanging balloons, then glued the completed stitched panel to a base card. 
The finished card would be great for any occasion, I think and even suitable for those tricky males we know!

Thanks again to the ladies at LiM for this opportunity, please support this fab challenge and celebrate their 300th challenge post in style.

I'd like to join in over at

    Sensational card Julie! Your balloons are perfectly placed and so beautifully coloured. They look like someone has just mass released a bunch of hot air balloons and these ones are floating away with the celebrate message. Superb! Thanks so much for being our guest designer at LIM this week. xx
