At CASology this week, the cue card is ‘Care’ … create some happy mail for someone … and at Addicted to CAS, Christine has chosen the code word ‘Rainbow’. In my mind, these two themes were made for each other, so here’s a combined card based around a Winnie the Pooh quote …
I wanted to see if I could create the illusion of translucence so cut the balloons in vellum (Cricut Stretch the Imagination) and coloured them with Promarkers. They’re attached with Invisidots for Vellum (no worries about sticky stuff showing through), have hand drawn strings and bows, and are bobbing about above a double embossed line. The sentiment was done on the computer using Sacremento font. Pooh was right … it’s practically impossible to be uncheered with a balloon!
Hope you’re having a Happy Sunday … thanks so much for coming by, I do appreciate your visits and comments! Anita 🙂

This card is just so fun and perfect. So interesting to read how you did it, too. Those vellum balloons are so pretty and realistic, and make such a statement all lined up like that. I am blown away by all those hand drawn strings and bows–you must have a very steady hand! Thanks so much for your birthday wishes, too.
Objective achieved, Anita! Love these balloons, and the very wise words from the bear of little brain 🙂
Fabulous looking card!! I love balloons and this made me smile!
Pooh sure knows what he’s talking about! Those balloons look so real…amazing effect! Thanks for joining us at CASology this week!
nita I love how those balloons look, translucent just like real balloons. Thank you so much for sharing with us this week at CASology!
Perfectly perfect. This is gorgeous, and very happy. So clever! Love this.
Good grief, this is amazingly clever and fabulous – love it!
Oh, sigh! I just love this rainbow, but you knew that I would, right? I never thought to colour vellum, but it works and so well for this – some of the darker edges give the balloons visual dimension! Thanks so much for playing along with us at CASology this week!
Anita, you are such an artist and so amazing. Wow…what you did with these balloons is genius and extremely clever. Your hand drawn strings and bows are so “Pooh” too. I love everything about your card.
I love these rainbow balloons, Anita! So fun and perfect!
This is so bright and lovely – and so brave working in vellum… love the stuff but very fiddly!!
Have a great week… Mxx

Just fabulous Anita! I’ve been toying with a balloon idea but wasn’t sure how to achieve the translucent look, thanks so much for the tips!
Amazing! So colorful, yet so very CAS as well. A tough combo to pull off, but you did it. And there are those scored lines again, love ’em!
Love the card, such a happy looking card!
