I'm wrapping up the week with a double video day.  The first one is here on my blog and the second card/video will be up on StampNation later today.  It was a fun process to see what I came up.  The challenge was to create a project inspired by one of StampNation members.  I chose Karolyn Loncon from Paper Therapy. You can see her original card in the StampNation gallery here.  Clicky

While I was cleaning up the mess I made from this first card I decided to make a second card instead of throwing the painted outline balloons away.  Here's a sneak peek for you of the card and video coming exclusively to StampNation later today.
