UP in the sky

Woo wee this card took some time! I spent an entire full 9 hours on the balloons/house alone!

For Grandparents day, what is more fitting than doing a replica of the best Pixar love story, UP?!

I found Ellie and Carl on Kraftynook's blog awhile ago and I decided to use them for a great z-fold card!

For the mountains and waterfall, I just kinda pieced this and that together until I was happy with the outcome.

The balloons, well the balloons have so many little pieces to them, let me show you a shortcut on keeping all those pieces in the order they are supposed to go in!

I do vinyl work so with that, I have learned to use contact paper as a friend when piecing small paper pieces as well.

First I cut out the base image on white paper. Then I organized each balloon color to my liking and cut each one out as it stood to be glued in place.

So once I cut the blue balloons, I did a bit of accent color with my eBrush. Then took my contact paper and applied it directly to the mat.

Peel up the blue (may need to use a scraping tool) and put the contact paper back back on!

I did this step individually for each color, you could use the same sheet of contact paper if you wish to do so, but I wanted to use individual sheets for each color.
