Here is my card:

Big_Boys_Toys_4_edited

My kids and I are leaving for Japan on Sunday…and I think this card is so right for me to send my friend or family :) I used Hot Air Balloon (9113-K) for the image and Soaring by to say Hi (9104-G) for the sentiment. Both of the stamps are from Big Boys Toys Collection! The image was paper pieced with 2 different designer papers. The mat was sponged with blue ink. The card was designed with the same designer paper and cardstock. The card layer mat was dry embossed. To finish off, I embellished with rhinestones and red baker’s twine.
