Courtney issued a sketch challenge over on Practicing Creativity's blog as part of their release celebrations this month and I put this card together and have been trying to figure out what's off about it. I tried fun clouds made with print, then I tried white clouds just glued to the page, then I raised and embossed the clouds... And now I am trying to accept that I don't have time to redo this card. Love the bit of glitter on the balloon, was trying to do something from the PTI Make It Monday glitter challenge the other week, but my pieces of scor tape ended up in little pieces. What sort of adhesive should I have used to make the glitter go all the way across the balloon? If I had more time I would've taken this apart and tried something else, but in the end the car packing/kid organizing took priority. So, here's my second card for the sketch challenge. Next up getting the kid sorted for bed after spending 4 hours in the car.
Materials: Practicing Creativity Look Up Additions balloon & sentiment, PTI Mat Stack 3 Collection & die, Hero Arts clear design banners, PTI cloud dies, Cuttlebug embossing folder, vellum, black card stock, Versafine black ink, Copic BV17, Martha Stewart glitter, Fiskars rotary scallop cutter

I like it! The way the clouds are embossed & slightly lifted make me happy! And your horizontal piece is very cool! :)
Yeowza, girl! THIS CARD is GORGEOUS! It's the perfect card for ME to give to you, because THAT's how I feel when ever {I remember! Duh!} I gaze upon your lovely work! THAT TEXTURE in your clouds - OH, my heavens! WHAT a fun, fun, beautifully crafty masterpiece! YIPEEEEEE!
I don't think it needs to be redone, you just can give it to someone and they will LOVE it!
The embossed look of the clouds is great! No need for this to be redone.
I agree with everyone, Erin! Those embossed clouds are fabulous and I love the darker colour theme here.
LOVE this, Erin, especially the vellum frame and your fab, embossed clouds! Plus, this color combo ROCKS!
