I heart balloon you.

I've gone very clean and simple with this but I am not really sure about it, at all. 
I have made it for my husband and, while being very supportive and encouraging about (almost) all my cards, he does always think a bow is a step to far. So he will probably like it. 

(He also thinks it is a cheap hobby. I suppose it is compared to some. I don't disillusion him. He is very sweet, he says it gives pleasure to me and pleasure to others when they receive the cards so I should keep making them!) 



When other people make really simple cards they look great but when I do it they just look plain. 
I had meant to trim the square smaller but hadn't factored in the hanging string. Also at the last minute I stuck it on at an angle which I do quite like.
I held myself back from any borders, mounts or embellishments. Tell me what you think, I'd really like to know. I really much prefer things with more work in them.
I've used a Stamplorations balloon stamp, Dovecraft peg letters and Glossy Accents with a  little glitter sprinkled on. 
I'm linking this to the Stamplorations CAS challenge:

All the cards are amazing at both of these challenges.

  2. I love your CAS card and don't think it needs anything else on it - it's perfect! I know what you mean about cards with not much work in them, but they're often my favourites!

  3. I think your card is fine and the heart balloon just looks as though it is floating upwards. Keep up hubbies idea of a cheap hobby ;)
