This week, the Simon Says Stamp Flickr challenge is to create a project for/with something new. I decided to create a “What’s new?” card featuring a balloon die I’d never used before. The “What’s New” sentiment was my play on words. Anyway, it is a very clean and simple card and a good one for Operation Write Home as well. I colored the balloon and the squirrel with Ranger Distress inks and tied a piece of Baker’s twine around the squirrel’s paw and the balloon to help him fly it. Thanks for visiting.
