Hello there...
I've been missing for a while and I'm way behind on comments but as you know I have been enjoying a visit from my dear friend Stella and on top of that I have been unsuccessfully battling a cold...
I think the loss of Gipsy last week must have left me quite low and I am only too glad that Stella came to visit ... I haven't laughed so much in a long time and I am already missing her....
So today as it happens, the new challenge at City Crafter has been set by Stella ...
The theme is Balloons
The card I made will be for my Great nephew Ross who has a birthday in a few weeks
It's a sort of slider card... Pull the tab at the top and the balloons go up
After cutting a slider front, I used the cityscape die (Clearly Besotted) and did a partial cut so that it was lengthened... if that makes sense... to fit the bottom part of the card and snipped off a portion in the centre to enable the slider to move...
I used distress inks to colour the cityscape and also to add 'rays'
The balloons ( Lil'inker) were coloured with Copics and I added glossy accents... The stitched frames are also Lil'inker, clouds are Memory box and the sentiment MFT
Our Guest Designer this week is the very talented Suchi - winner of week 301. Do go visit her and check out her lovely creations and don't forget to take a peek at the projects the rest of the team have up on the City Crafter Blog
Have a beautiful day

Cute birthday card, Ros, I am sure your nephew will love it! Happy Birthday to him!
This is such fun Ros and it seems like you and Stella had fun together too. Very envious of your cakes:)
Such a clever and inspirational card, I have never dared make one of these far too complicated if you ask me but yours is amazing. The colouring as always is divine and I love how all of the elements and colours work so harmoniously.
