Hello friends, today I am back with my third countdown teaser for the November release from Clearly Besotted. And today I have a little floating hippo for you, sending you some hugs and rainbows. Who doesn’t need that in their life? As a quick reminder, all the sets will be available for purchase on 1st November at 8pm GMT at Clearly Besotted and Simon Says Stamp so you have a few days to go yet.
This card features images from both Balloon Bunch Backdrops and Balloon Bunch Buddies. The backdrops set has four lovely images you can just stamp and colour – the rainbows, a sunny day, a galaxy and a night sky. And the Balloon Bunch Buddies has a whole array of gorgeous little critters that can be hanging merrily from the big balloon, heading off to lands near and far – so cute and fun!
I started by stamping the rainbow backdrop image onto an A2 panel and the hippo and balloon onto some scrap Neenah. They were coloured with Copics. I added the background panel flat onto my card base and this time I remembered to stamp my sentiment onto it before everything was adhered on top! Then I took a MFT Stitched Cloud Edges die and cut two cloud borders which were added to my base with foam tape.
To finish the card, I added some foam squares onto the back of the hippo and balloon and sent them on their merry way. Of course no balloon is complete without some shimmer and whilst that marker was out, the clouds got a dose of it too.
That finishes my card for today. I will be back on 1st November with a release day post for you with a reminder of all the sets and the cards I have made. I would love for you to pop back then. In the meantime, do head over to Stephanie, Keren and Michelle as I am sure they would appreciate a visit. Happy crafting folks!

Fantastic use of the clouds to create a fun vocal border, must add that tip to memory. Such a cute hippo , the rainbow in background adds to the cuteness.
Keren Baker says
That’s so cute and I love how you’ve used the clouds as a frame! Clever x

Aww, so cute! I love that little hippo and that you have paired him with the rainbow in the background. Love the addition of the cloud borders, great idea! xx
