Up up and away

Good night, good morning, good evening, good afternoon, depending where you are!
Hope I find you fine and dandy.
This is a late night post from me to announce the latest challenge at ATSM and to show you my DT card.


This week our theme is 

ANYTHING GOES

and we are sponsored by -


who are offering 4 digis fro their store for the winner.

Anything goes is a great theme if you are entering a challenge but a bit more difficult to come up with an idea when you're not, so I went in search of a few challenges as inspiration.
At Less is More the theme is Up up and away and the one at CAS-Colours and Sketches is colour week. So that was my starting off point.
If you are a regular reader you may realise that I love die cuts and love trying new techniques, so I got out my NEBUS Avery Elle Happy die and MFT Balloon Stax set and had a play.
I die cut the happy out of the white panel then from plum, turquoise and rose card reassembling them slightly off center so that a little bit of each colour shows, it creates a nice shadow effect. The balloon I cut from more card then stamped a few tiny stars in the same colours then tied a piece of linen thread to the bottom of the balloon and joined it up to the side of the 'h'. I stamped the birthday in the space between the h and p, job done. 

So why not pop over to the main blog and check out the rest of the DT's fab inspiration and then join in.

I would like to join in at -
