So today I'm sharing the card I've made - and its my first project using something from the Spellbinders 2024Advent Calendar I picked up in the sale!

I think I managed to get it at an even lower price in the sale just before Christmas than it is now.  I thought it would be the perfect little helper for getting me through these nasty depressing winter months. The very first door opened to reveal a sweet little hot air balloon die set - perfect for this challenge!

  

I made up two of the balloons, then decided to make an aperture card with them.  The sunset or maybe sunris background is just made with various shades of ink, but I added some hand cut vellum 'clouds' before adding the balloons. The frame was cut from a piece of dark teal card and raised from the main card lauer using some offcuts of thick card'

 For the bunting I hand cut triangles of leftovers from when I cut the background down to size and some blue twine

Die set used:
