A couple more balloon cards featuring decorative paper backgrounds

I made a couple more balloon cards while I was at it!!  For these two I used decorative paper for the backgrounds and added coordinating cards.  For the one on the left, I trimmed the double sided banner paper for my background and added the trimmed off piece just above one of the banners with the orange polka dots side showing. before gluing it to my blue card front.   I watercoloured my balloon with two coats of yellow and added a highlight with a clear glitter gel pen.  I tied on a length of heavy black thread which I ironed flat after shaping it the way I wanted.  I stayed very nicely in the shape so I was able to just add a bit of glue with a glue stick on the bottom side and place it where I wanted it on my background.   The second card was executed in very much the same way.  I paper pieced my background and painted my fussy cut balloon green with a white gel pen/clear glitter highlight.   I have a couple left to use at some time in the future.         Therese
