Dreary, dreary morning

It was so stormy and dreary here this morning, which made me so sleepy!  I wanted to craft, but I didn't want to have to think about it. I wanted it to be simple!  I headed over to Less is More since they have clean and simple challenges, and this week's challenge is to incorporate an oval into your project.  My first thought was balloons!


I sponged the edges of the balloons to give them some dimension and added a little reflection mark on each one with my white gel pen.  I decided to have them go off of the edge of the card to make them look like they were floating away.  I wrapped the baker's twine around a pencil to give it some shape and adhered it with a little bit of Tombow Multi glue in spots and the hidden Dimensionals on the ends.  I didn't want three strings to be fighting with each other so I poked holes with my paper piercer to give the illusion of the other two strings.  So easy-my kind of crafting!
