Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend! :)
I'm kicking off the working week here on the blogeroo with a good ol' fashioned blog hop as Top Dog Dies joins forces with The Twinery!
You should have hopped across here from my fellow Top Dog Dies teamie, Amy T. If you haven't then be sure to start out at the Top Dog Dies blog.
The Twinery were kind enough to send the Top Dog Dies DT a selection of their twines. As soon as I opened them I had the idea to create some fun balloons using the twine. The heart-shaped die from Top Dog Dies' Camera Finishers Die Set was perfect for creating pretty balloons. (I just couldn't get the tune, '99 Red Balloons' out of my head whilst making this, hence the title of this blog post.)
You may not see it too well in the picture, but I added a watercolour wash in the background of light blue. It looks like subtle sky IRL - you'll have to trust me on that one. The watercolour fun comes from yet more fun I'm having on the current watercolour Online Card Class.
I used Distress Inks to create my bold, red balloons and couldn't resist added both sparkles and a coating of Glossy Accents. So shiny!
I hope you can find time to check out more Top Dog Dies and The Twinery goodness. Oooh and be sure to enter the draw on the Top Dog Dies blog to win $50 in wafer-thin dies.
Next in the hop is my TDD teamie, Giovanna. Happy hopping!

I can see the touch of blue on the background. Really looks nice.
the balloons are so cute and the twine "strings" are a great touch.
Is there any pointers in the occ as to what to do when you've over worked the watercolour paper? I had a 'mare yday :(
