Four in One - Kraft*Color*Sketch*May Holiday Card

Because I have been busy with my niece's pre-wedding events the past few days I decided to try and incorporate 4 challenges into this one card to catch up for a few days away from stamping!

So this one card is for the:

1) Split Coast Ways to Use it Challenge -to use kraft paper

2) Split Coast Limited Supplies - make a card for a Holiday in May - mine is Teacher Week.

3) Taylored Expression Sketch

4) Color Throwdown#41 to use Riding Hood Red, Baja Breeze and Certainly Celery!

The stamps are all Taylored Expressions - I re-stamped, cut out and popped up different layers of the balloons and the red one is actually a punched circle because on the stamp that balloon says 'get well'. The green balloons are flat, the blue balloon is one layer up and the red balloon is 3 layers up - all on foam dimensionals. You can see the layers here.

The red frame is made by layering 2 scalloped rectangle nestabilities - one inside the other- and running it through the Cuttlebug. The background is Swiss dots Cuttlebug folder and the gems are tiny twinkles from Taylored Expressions.

Kate & Greg's wedding day is finally here - They originally were going to have their honeymoon in Mexico (!) but had to change their reservations because of the threat of the swine flu epidemic and were lucky enough to be able to book a Carribean Cruise instead. That'll be a story to tell their future children!
