Flying High!

 I can't believe how fast the year is going and that we are nearly in February already! But before we get there, we have another challenge starting over at Passion for Markers and this time Kitty would like you to use 'Ribbon and/or lace' on your projects. Our sponsor is RAM Stamps

and I have used one of her darling stamps for my DT card, please excuse the gluey marks (hazard of working with mirri card!) and I wasn't happy with the white areas around the balloon strings, but, by the time I had cut her out with one hand and not managed to cut off her head 😂I was reluctant to fiddle about!
