The Sky's The Limit {May Arts & Lawn Fawn Hop}

Hello everyone!!! Welcome to my stop on the last day of the May Arts | Lawn Fawn blog hop!!

Have you been checking in this week to see all the goodness? Check the May Arts blog for a full list of this week's participants! Today my Ribbonista in crime is Charlene, so be sure to stop and see her project, too!

I've put together a steadfast little card perfect for some encouragement to a friend, a recent grad, or maybe the little girl down the street :)

I've used the Dewey Decimal 6x6 paper pad and Sky's the limit stamp set from Lawn Fawn. The stamp was stamped on white cardstock in archival ink, and on the sheet of rotating tan and orange apples. I fussy cut three of the five balloon sections and the bottom balloon ring, then glued them on the white stamp in their appropriate places.

I layered some UmWowStudio layered clouds chipboard, half pearls and ouchless cardboard from Gauche Alchemy on a card base. As a final touch I grabbed a strip of the White Horizontal Satin Strip 410 series in 3/4 inch. I clipped the edges and tied it in a knot, then glued it on!

The inside of the card reads "The Sky's the limit" and is ready for some personalization!

Don't forget....
...there are TWO giveaways!! Each contains the same thing.. .3 Spools of May Arts Ribbons ribbon, and 1 stamp and die set from Lawn Fawn. Just leave comments on all the participants through the week, and during the weekend be sure to stop by the May Arts FB page, and the Lawn Fawn FB page to say hello!
