Transportation

There's a new challenge over at  Outlawz Twisted Thursday,  and this week's optional twist is to make something using the theme of TRANSPORTATION. I've used an image from Stitchy Bear Designs - our sponsor for October - colored with Promarkers and fussy cut.

I made the background using a die from Poppy and the die cut clouds are from Memory Box. My starting point was the the sketch and a masculine theme.

I'd like to participate in these challenges:
The Sweetest Thing - #291 Sketch
Digi Choosday Challenge - #42 Birthday Celebrations
Creatalicious Challenges  #80 Guys/Male Theme .




I also want to say a BIG THANK YOU to Mervi who sent my all the goodies shown in the photo and some chocolate bars as I was a lucky winner of her blog celebration candy. The chocolates didn't survive the wait until I picked out my camera, so sorry for that, they were SO yummy.

    Hullo Pia, what a great clean cut card, love the embossed background but not going to look at what folder was used for it :D gotta use more wot I have already :D
    ... and balloons pop nicely.
    Well done on the candy win and so agree with you re chocolates .. they have to be eaten before they go off right? :D
    Thanks so much for popping over.

    I love the worn look of the balloons... is that just my early-morning eyes, or did you distress them?

    There is something about a hot air balloon that I just love! Have never been on one but they look like they would be awesome fun! Love how you coloured these and added the clouds! Your embossed background really caught my eye - you used a die? Must try this!
