I am beyond excited that I was chosen as this week's guest designer for Card Patterns. I love challenges and especially sketch challenges, so a big thank you to all the gals at Card Patterns.
Here is the sketch so you can play along too:
And here is my take: 
I have to admit that I rotated the sketch because I could not get the image of an award out of my head. The other thought I had was jungle vines hanging down with monkeys everywhere :>). In the end I went with my fave, hot air balloons. My other fave of late is hearts, so why not combine the 2? All the balloons are popped up on dimensionals and I added embroidery floss to the large balloon.Thanks for stopping by and be sure to create your project from today's sketch...link it up HERE.
Smiles,
Julie
