This was a fun one!! I glued strips of corrugated cardboard I found in my stash to each other with tape on the back. Next, I carefully die cut some circles from it using my circle die (SX) and being really careful where I put my cutting pad on the Big Shot to only cut one circle at a time. Worked reasonably well. I cut four holes and then added colourful foil on the back. I noticed when I rubbed the back that the foil stretched enough to allow me to put back the circle. After a bit of handling I wish I had put the circles back in backwards because my balloons have taken on the texture of the circles which distracts a bit from them being balloons!! I tied double knots in some black crochet thread and glued the knots just below the balloons to make them look like they are floating in the air. I watercoloured the greeting to coordinate with the balloons and then mounted it on the front of my background. I mounted this large element to the front of a large navy card!!
