Welcome to Preview Day 1 of the May Waltzingmouse Release! Claire has three terrific sets releasing on May 8th and today the Design Team is highlighting the most adorable set - the long awaited female version of
Half Pint Heroes --
HALF PINT HEROINES!!!!
I used one of the faces in this set with the 'blowing in the wind' hair since she was riding in this wonderful hot air balloon which I paper pieced in these fun papers by Echo Park. There are 5 other cute faces and hairstyles to choose from!
I framed this wonderful 'once upon a time' sentiment with this pretty scrolley from
Very Vintage Labels No. 4. I sponged the background using my home made cloud stencil and Soft Sky Ink as shown below. I added the
Modern Landscape border by Memory Box to the base of the card
Inside I stamped one of the sentiments that completes the sentiment on the front of the card - and one of the sweet birds from this wonderful new set.
My card is 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" so even though the hot air balloon extends over the top - it will still fit inside a regular A2 envelope. You can see here how I layered the balloon and then layered the girls face over that.
Now I strongly recommend that you check out the rest of the Design Team listed below to see what stamps they have used from this adorable new set! I know that's where I'm going!

Absolutely gorgeous card Julia - not only are they great images, but I love the sentiments you chose! Fantastic sponged clouds and I love the little punched scene at the bottom - perfect for this card x
I love your "off-the-page" card Julia. Your little bobbles you added to your balloon are a great touch. Love everything about your project today!
This is so cute. Love the paper piecing and the bling. Great stencil.
These sentiments are making me weepy.
Julia, you're super fab! I love how you paper-pieced the ballon. The little townscape below is the perfect touch.
Question, did you cut your cloud stencil out with scalloped scissors?
Absolutely love your card! Genius idea to use paper piecing for the balloon, and I love your cloud idea! Adorable!
