i started with card stock and cut an oval using a stencil from fiskars which i've had tucked away for years. i lost the cutting tool long ago so after tracing the oval i hand cut with scissors and was grateful i didn't ruin it! this inspires me to use the stencil again though. i "framed" the oval with a pro marker. behind the oval i attached designer paper with a dreamy cloudy sky and balloons flying upwards. the balloons don't show so well in the scan though in the card you can really see what the child is gazing at. the vellum sticker quote was a lucky find in my stash -- perfectly fits this card! the sticker dots are called "raindrops" and are lovely little translucent bits.
have a wonderful week and i hope you'll consider joining this challenge.
love to all.
