A Load of Hot Air

Hello!
It's a lovely bright and sunny day here - but where did the "warm" go?  The last few days have been really chilly and we've even had hailstones and the odd flurry of snowflakes - it's the end of April, for goodness sake - a couple of weeks back I was sitting outside in the warm sunshine!

It's the last week for the April LO from The Sketch File Blog. Next Tuesday there'll be a new LO to play with, so here's my last card for the current one

The Sketch File Blog

This time I've mirrored the LO and used a stencil to create the circle background.  I overlapped that with another stencil for the clouds, then used the little balloons in place of the swirls and some trailing bunting for the horizontal strip
