Welcome
This card was made in a hurry - my mojo was running low and the order I was working on was running close to time, so I unashamedly cased a card from a magazine, using the stamps and some of the paper that came in that magazine.
I used a kraft layer under the image panel, rather than the colour suggested, and taylored my sentiment to fit the 'order'.
The dimensional balloon was constructed slightly differently, as I stamped on both sides of the layers, and ended up having two more layers that the original
I also die cut the clouds from Whimsy Stamps stitched cloud dies, and added three, not two, to the card. The base of them was shaded with some grey chalks to add some realism to them
The inside was finished with another stamped balloon, and a Scriptural sentiment added.
I loved how this card came together and the overall look of it when I had finished.

Nothing wrong with casing a card Maxine, looks good and you must be proud. I would love to go on a hot air balloon venture one day. We lived in Adelaide at the Barossa Valley where they were out every weekend but never went on one...have a lovely weekend.xx
A lovely card, love the 3D effect. Thanks for joining our challenge. Elaine GDT for C.R.A.F.T. challenge.
Hello Maxine, I have to say I really, really like this card. The colour combo is fab and the inside is so nice too. I love the line from the scriptures. The layered or dimensional balloons look cool.
Love,
Monica

This is adorable Maxine - thanks for uploaded over at the CRAFT sports challenge this week - I wish you the best on the draw - Gail Guest Designer
Mojo is low?? I can't believe this, fabulous card and amazing design Maxine, love that dimension in the hot air balloon.
You did a beautiful CASE, Maxine, and changed it up to make it your own! The magazine would be delighted cuz they want their readers to be inspired by the samples! I'm sure your client loved it!! Hammy loves it and says, "Hi!" Hugs, Darnell
What a fabulous card Maxine! The design is fab and no shame at all at drawing inspiration from around you! Love what you did with that dimensional balloon. Brilliant! Hugs, Wends xoxo
Magazine freebies have come a long way from the little clear stamps they used to be, to the sets of stamps and dies that are now given. Some of them are very useful and versatile too. This is a great card. Balloons are a very pleasing shape to work with, and I am always happy to have clouds too. A perfect choice of sentiment for inside as well. Kate x
Awesome CASE Maxine. And mags are a good starting point if the MOJO is being lazy.
What a lovely card! Thank you for joining our sport themed CRAFT challenge.

Hi Maxine, a wonderful cased card, no problems casing a card when Mr. Mojo goes AWOL, a bit like following sketch challenges to get the juices flowing... A fabulous card for a bloke, love the hot air balloons and the coloured clouds... have a wonderful week... Megan
Well, I think that your card is PERFECT, Maxine. The dimensional effect is awesome. Great colours too. Kisses, my friend.

This is such a great card for a guy and so perfect for our challenge! Thanks for playing along with us at CRAFT Challenge!
What a great masculine card Maxine. Love how you made it dimensional! So fun!
Lovely card, thanks for sharing it with us at CRAFT Challenge.
Sounds like you took this design and made it your own Maxine, so no shame is allowed! No shame is allowed even if you CASED it bit by bit! Our mojo goes on break from time to time or sometimes for a long time, but that is why we have our magazines and Pinterest to help motivate us! With that said, I have to say I love this card! The colors are perfect and so masculine. The hot air balloons are fabulous, but it is the 3D one that makes this a unique card. I love the inside as well and hopefully the birthday guy will love it too! Hugs, Brenda
Awesome creation Maxine, I love the 3D hot air balloon, super creative, and great masculine creation! Thanks so much for playing at The Paper Shelter Challenge "Add A Sentiment" this week. Hope to see you again next challenge. Hugs:) Audrey DT

Nobody would ever guess you did this in a hurry - it is fabulous! I really love how you have done your balloons and would, if you don't mind, copy the idea some time.
The Kraft card is perfect for this and tones in with the first balloon so well. A most terrific card.
