Love Floats

Hello again,

I've got a clean and simple card today for a couple of challenges - Casology and Addicted to CAS:





There's a cute little balloon in Mama Elephant's new 'Around we Go' set and I started the card with the intention of having that silhouetted in front of the floating moon. It didn't really have the required effect though - the balloon was just too tiny. Looking at the carousel I thought I could maybe do a night scene - I guess when they're not being used, the seats kind of float in the air. Or am I taking this float thing too far?

It needed a bit of brightening up with some twine and enamel dots - empty fairgrounds can look very creepy in the dark can't they? Since I sponged the sky I'm also entering it into Addicted to CAS.

Thanks for popping by - have a great weekend!
