Home Decor - Hot Air Balloon Wall Art

Welcome to Club Scrap's Up Up & Away Blog Hop! So glad you came. We were challenged to make something from February's Up Up and Away kit to share with you.

 Up, Up and Away Wall Art

 I made this great Wall art using all the different Hot Air Balloons from ClubScrap's Up, Up and Away kit in all of the colors of the rainbow!!

To create this project:

1.  Get a 8.5 x 11 frame.  Take 8.5x11 teal cardstock for background.
2.  Tear a 9 in wide piece of cardstock to give rough edge to it.  Hold this piece across the teal cardstock and using a sponge, ink sponge and rub off of torn piece onto the teal cardstock lightly.  Repeat process, moving torn paper around to create 'clouds' onto the background.
3.  Rubberstamp "city skyline" from ClubScraps' Bright Lights, Big City kit in black ink at bottom edge of cardstock.
4.  Create balloons (see instructions below) in various colors and adhere to background.
5.  Rubberstamp "Be a Rainbow in someone else's cloud." sentiment in red ink on white cardstock, cut out and adhere on popdots.
6.  Insert project into the frame and you are done!!

Instructions to make 3D Balloons

1.  Rubberstamp Hot Air Balloon of choice 5 times onto cardstock.

2.  Trim out one balloon as the main base balloon.  Punch the other five balloons out with a circle cutter or punch. Ink edges of each piece.

3.  Fold each of the balloons in half.

4.  Adhere the 5 balloons together, leaving the final 2 flaps not adhered.

I used liquid adhesive, so then I would put the stack of 5 balloons into a clip to dry:

5.  Once adhesive was dry, Add adhesive to the back two flaps of the balloon and adhere to the main base balloon.

These can be made with pretty much any size of ClubScrap's balloon images.  I used some of the teeny tiny ones, clear up the the large one.
