Hello Everyone!!!

I’m Anuja from Bangalore, this is my first post as a Guest Designer for Lulupu.Started with ORIGAMI when I was small, later I experimented with all types of crafts such as Doll making , Quilling , card making , Jewelry making , Mixed media, Altered art , etc. A year back I started my blog craftcollage.blogspot.in to showcase the ideas as well as to join various challenges in the blogging world.

Today I was asked to make a macho card with Distress inks to go along with the challenge of this month.

Here’s my step by step Hot Air Balloon Card

Started with Cobalt blue DCWV card 4 ¼ by 5 ½.

Using the pattern paper created the tag and distressed them with vintage ink. Small tag (2 ¾ x 1 ½) Big tag (3 ¾ x 1 7/8 ).

Stamp and Die from Papertreyink.To make the yellow balloon, I stuck five balloons to together so that it looks like a chipboard diecut. For the red balloon fold the diecut into half and stick it side by side to get that look…

Thanks to the Lulupu team for giving me this opportunity.

Hope you all liked it!!!!
