Contest Card

***Warning*** This post is graphic heavy. 

I entered a Product Challenge through my upline, Linda Bauwin. The challenge was to make any creative fold card and her card class would pick the winner. There would be 3 winners who would earn free product. She had 17 entries!

I knew I wanted to make a scene of some sort and what better scene than camping???

There were several layers to my card. I wanted to make the hot air balloons appear to be floating mid-air

I used the Lift Me Up bundle out of the Occasions Catalog for the hot air balloons.


The scenery was courtesy of the Always an Adventure bundle. I just love how all the scenery pieces meld in this fold. The bear at the base of the mountains is a cute touch too. Of course I wouldn't want a bear hanging out where I camp, but for this card's sake, I kinda like him 😉


I added "snow" to the mountain tops too by sprinkling some tombow glue with dazzling diamonds. I wish you could see this card in person. It's so much fun!!! :) 




  





                                       



All of this and it still folds flat into one of our standard A2 envelopes.


And the best part???? I won the challenge and $75 in free product! How cool is that?!
I love how Linda encourages us to expand our horizons! 😁😁😁
