Seize the Birthday #266 Inspired by a Book



Good morning, crafters. Welcome back for a new challenge.   Glenda would like us to make a card that is inspired by a book.  I picked,
Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne
Check out all of the inspiration by the team and join in the challenge.

I used Hot Air Balloon by Unity (I think)
Hero Arts Tulip Fields in Catherine Pooler Inks
MFT Cloud Stencil
Gina K. ML #1

If you're not a toppings kinda person, well...you can just
stick with our usual "Anything Goes" Birthday!
The choice is yours!


Our Surprise Party Guest for the next two months.  Please help me in welcoming, Isabella from Izzy Scraps.



Thanks for stopping by.

This is really sweet, Linda! I would love to go on a balloon ride over the fields of tulips in Denmark. What a brilliant idea for a card!

What a beautiful scene you've created for that balloon to drift over! Wonderful card, Linda!

Izzy Scrap said...

What a beautiful scene you've created to illustrate the cover book! Love every details on your card and especially the eye-catching field of flowers with the windmill. Very happy to be your Surprise Party guest at STB. xx

Great take on that book Linda. Love the hot air balloon. I remember the movie "Around the World in Eighty Days" but never read the book.

Well done! Your field of flowers is fabulous

I think this was a fun challenge and I love how your balloon is floating over those glorious clouds and all the tulips that you can see as far as your eye. What a sense of adventure I see in the windmills. That balloon has a long ways to go to get around the world.
