Up, up, and away


     Is this one bright or what!?!  LOL  This was my first attempt at inking an embossing folder.  Next time I'll check for stray ink in the creases, but for right now we're calling them sun spots.  LOL
     The bear, balloon, and sentiment are from Purple Onion Designs.  I stamped the bear and cut off the sparkler he is holding so I could put the balloons in his hand.  I didn't stamp the balloon strings so I could add the embroidery floss.  Hope the happy yellow brightens you day.


Be blessed!
Tracy

Aw....happy little guy with his balloons. Cute little smile on his face, and the embossing folder background is perfect for the image. Have a wonderful weekend, my friend! Hugs, Geri

Oh, Tracy, I LOVE the inked embossing folder, and who ever thought the sun rays were totally straight? LOL! It's perfect. And what an adorable little fella with his balloons. I love that you used embroidery floss. Sweetness! Hugs, sweet friend!

This is a total burst of happy on paper! LOVE that background with the images you used! So perfect for the sun rays and love that it gives the feel like he's really pulling up towards the sky!
