TWO PAPER DIVAS DESIGN TEAM CARD - Hot Air Balloon, Mts., and the Sentiment "Simply the best"

Another Clean and Simple card from me this week.  We are having a perfect winter day in Pagosa Springs, CO. today.  So, it reminded me of how normally we see our Balloons up taking the tourists around to see what beautiful countryside we enjoy!!  But, today I have not seen a Balloon up, so I decided to make my own scene.  As I have said before, I love this new set of stamps by TWO PAPER DIVAS - "You are my Sunshine".  So when the balloons are out flying around, I see them against the Mts. out my windows at our home.  This scene is truly "Simply the best".

I used the Mama Elephant "Clearly Creative Cuts" die to allow the focus of the Balloon and the Mts.  We always see some very colorful balloons, especially during our Colorfest each year ..... so, I decided to sort through my large clear container holding my Washi Tape to use for the balloon.  I stamped and cut the balloon and then applied the tape and colored the basket.  Then it was popped up to show it in front of the Mts.  Speaking of the Mts. ..... this is a wonderful stamp, CREATED by TWO PAPER DIVAS.  The name of it is "Mountains".  What else and you need it in your stash!!  Along with these Mountains is a tiny two "extra" tree grouping ..... not used here but would be good to have in certain circumstances.  Thanks Gayla and Melissa!!!

TWO PAPER DIVAS has this awesome Sentiment only it actually says, "you are Simply the best".  Well I performed "surgery" again and separated it because as I said above ...... we have "Simply the best" view!! AND, we always have a camera ready or our binoculars handy!!

The card base and the die cut is with the Robyn's Egg Blue card stock from Ellen Hutson.  A few punches of the clouds and the card is done!!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoying My View!!
