I used Up and Away illustrated by Theresa Momber. I have to say I love this set and it has been sitting on my craft table waiting so patiently for me to ink it up. I colored all three balloons and totally messed up on the large one so I decided to paper piece it and hide my boo boo. I then masked off the balloons and sponged in some clouds. I didn't want them to be really noticeable and in the process you can hardly see them. Well there you have it a card I messed up pretty bad and yet with some creative coverups it came out okay. I will also be entering this into Just Us Girls sketch challenge.
