Breezy Quest Fun Fold for Altenew

This month I'm a Guest Designer over at Altenew, and their Mini Delight set this month is adorable! It's called Breezy Quest, and it features a hot air balloon die set and a stamp set with a floral design and a variety of sentiments, some made for the hot air balloon theme like "Sending smiles across the miles" and "Onward and upward." 

To make this fun fold card, I used a cut file in Silhouette Design Studio and cut out the inside of the card in black cardstock using my Silhouette Cameo 4. Then I stamped the flowers from the Breezy Quest set using embossing ink and white embossing powder and heat embossed them. I adhered the black panel inside a white A2 card base. 

I created 2 hot air balloons with the die set and cardstock I had ink blended with Altenew's new Bubblegum Dreams fresh dye inks. I used metallic and glitter cardstocks for the bottom of the balloons. Once I had assembled everything, I stamped the floral stamp from the set onto the balloons. 

The white panels behind the balloons were die cut using Altenew's Ornate Nesting dies. I die cut them and then embossed them using Altenew's Cloudy Day 3D embossing folder. I stamped "sending hugs" onto one of the panels and added a few hearts from Altenew's Bubblegum Dreams enamel dots set. 

To finish the card, I used some of Altenew's Pure White ink spray and a paintbrush to add a bit of splatter to the card.
