Kangaroos and Hot Air Balloons

Both of these things are fun and both are part of my post for today.
 I pulled out a Paper Smooches stamp for this card. I got my inspiration for a kraft colored image from this blog, her projects are just plain adorable! I thought a good fit was the retro sketch for this week.
 The red heart is actually colored with some wonderful, Adirondac color wash in Red Pepper. It is such a yummy red.
 Here is the retro sketch.
 This card uses a couple of my brand new Hero Arts stamps so that makes it fit the Simon Says Stamp challenge for NEW.  The map background paper is from Crate paper.
 I stamped the Tweed background stamp first with black ink and then stamped the balloon stamp over that. It made the balloon have a great pattern. The circle ring is cut with the Kreaxions circle cutter, the best circle cutter out there!!!
Here is the Simon Says Stamp challenge for something NEW.
Thanks for visiting, Linda (lbpost)
