Bon Voyage by Penny Black


It seems I have two new favorite things:  the Penny Black new release which includes the transparent set "Bon Voyage" and my new neon cardstock!


30-224 Bon Voyage;  51-033 Silver linings
I combined my two new loves in this card using the hot air balloon image.  I stamped and embossed it seven times onto my cardstock, and then stamped and embossed it three times on each shade of neon paper.  And then I spent a couple of hours cutting and pasting!  Believe it or not, I had a system for how I placed the colors on each balloon; it kept me sane!  The clouds were made using Creative Die Silver Linings. 
 
And for really happy news, I finally explored the menu on my camera and learned how to set the camera to allow more light, therefore brighter photos.  I have spent countless hours editing my photos in order to make them brighter .. who knew how easy it could be!!  What's that saying: "Too soon old, too late smart".  Yep, that's me!!
 
Anyway, I have a lot to look forward to with this new release .. Don't know if I will take on a paper piecing project just yet ... there are lots of ways to enjoy new stamps.
 
Have a great day .. it's the middle of July already!!  And there's plenty of hot air here in Alabama to keep these balloons afloat!
