Celebrating Spring...

Eureka Digital Stamps provided Flying Girl Holder
designed for use with the Balloon Flowers

Celebrating the 1st Day of Spring - a little sun, a little rain & wind - and lots of green!  A perfect time of year.
It's an up lifting time and this card expresses that feeling for me!

This is my DT card for the new Challenge at 613 Ave. C with the theme of "First Day of Spring - make your own 3D flowers".  With Eureka as the sponsor, I immediately thought of these Balloon Flowers to make.  My 613 teammates have created some great samples to kick start your mojo - so go on over to see their inspiration for you and get more details on  the challenge - HERE.




TECHNIQUE

[Note: specific information on supplies and sources will be found below under “Supplies”.]

• Manipulated the Eureka images to create 2 different sizes for the Sunflower and then printed out three copies of all the images.
• Colored all images with Copics, fussy cut, sculpted & layered with foam tape to create 3D flower balloons and the girl.
• Layered the background paper & 2 different sized punched scalloped circles on the front and again on the inside. 
• Waxed linen thread tied around the base of each balloon and then mounted all four images with foam tape for even more dimension.
• Carefully adjusted all the threads to the right length, tied a knot and glued under her hand.
