I knew it would make a great card for any number of my friends, so I created this:
Closed card


Open card
I stamped part of the sentiment with Lawn Fawn's Smitty's Alphabet stamps, and tucked in the colorful part of the sentiment with die cut letters. (PTI's Block Alphabet)  The balloon tail is the silver part of the card to fit CAS-ual Friday's theme this week, along with the silver beads to mimic the reflection on the balloon.  If you look closely, you can see that I inked the edges of the cloud to create the "silver lining," because we all know that every cloud has one.

As I was going back through Pinterest re-searching for the original picture I had found, I ran across this second little gem:

I searched for this link, but couldn't find it!

So, before I put away my ballon die and silver embossing powder, I created this:

Again, the balloon string is the silver here that fits CAS-ual Friday's challenge.

I need to make at least 25 more of these cards.  Just to leave around my friends' classrooms!

These are great cards! I can really see these going to friends that needed some encouragement to let something in their lives go that wasn't so positive anymore.
Thanks for sharing!
