Happy Fall Y'all!
My favorite seasons are starting..Fall and Winter, yea-aaah. Harvest Time, Thanksgiving and Christmas. No money, but I'm still excited about the seasons (lol). Sooo, let's get this show on the road. Let me start by announcing the October challenge at Eclectic Ellapu...drum roll please...one of my favorite themes...Vintage or Shabby Chic!!! The pink team's challenge was to do something vintage, while our fab-fab purple team's challenge is Autumn. My project inspiration came from the amaaaaazing Einat Kessler (Click on the link for all her YouTube videos). I decided to do a Hot Air Balloon! Einat has so many great video tutorials, but the one that really got me was the Hot Air Balloon. Her hot air balloon is a cross between vintage and Steampunk. You can see Einat's awesome Hot Air Balloon video tutorial here. Check out my finished project below and afterward let the Autumn breeze take you over to our October challenge at Eclectic Ellapu for more inspiring cards and projects; hope to see you there!
Supplies (I used) for this project:
Tim Holtz- loop pins, screw eyes, game spinner, time piece, clock key, distress paint-black, distress ink-walnut stain, distress stain-walnut stain
Hobby Lobby-gold Duck Tape, ATC canvas cards, patterned paper-Uncharted and (ATD's-Specialty Collections, this has a lot of foiled paper with maps and stuff about travel); chain link, large clear Christmas bulb with spout opening (they had 2 kinds of bulbs), large metal gears, small (pliable) gears, leather strip.

Micheals- Fleur-de-lis (suspended by the wire loop that came with the Hobby Lobby large clear Christmas bulb)
