CAS on the Basic Grey Challenge :-)

Hi all :-) I hope you’re all having a lovely weekend :-)

This is my last week as a GD on the Basic Grey Challenge and I would like to thank the girls for having me along :-)

This week the theme is ,,,

CLEAN AND SIMPLE ,,,, easy eh !!! :-)

As always we are sponsored by the lovely Heidi at Simon Says Stamp so a fab $25 spree on offer !! :-)

SSS_25dollar_voucher

I used this fab hot air balloon image from Hero Arts, the set is called ‘Away’ and is made to co-ordinate with a Basic Grey ‘What’s Up’ paper pack ( which I don’t have ,,, yet !! )




I stamped the image 3 times so that I could cut out and layer all the balloons and used a Spellbinders Oval nestie for matting. I coloured with copics and used glossy accents and a spica glitter pen on the dangly bits. I created a cloudy background using a CC Designs Cloud die cut and my copic air brush. The chevron paper is from a Basic Grey PB&J pack and I used some Hemptique twine and a button to finish.

I decorated the inside using my Silhouette Cameo to cut the clouds and write the sentiment.



This is for my nephew who is emigrating down under next month. We are all going to miss him ,, :-(

Hi Lorraine,
