Well it's that time of year again Balloon Fiesta.

We have 4 October birthdays and will celebrate on 10/31.

Nancy B, Wendy, Lisa & Bette.

Of course I had to do a balloon card, living here for the past 18 years

 and they still take my breath away!

My original impulse was to use that beautiful coral color skies we see.

The more I looked at the card I decided to go with a soft blue sky.

I'm much happier.

I used a technique called recessed panel.

Please bring your class kit

including

scissor

pencil w/eraser

liquid glue (Elmer's)

black edger

fun foam 4'x 5 1/2"

paper trimmer

Bette's tool and white ink pad

(will explain in class and show you "Bette's" tool)

preferred color medium (I used sharpies)

That should do it!

Have a great week,
