When I first got my big shot all you could get were the sizzix shape dies. I had some but hardly used them, so I thought my considered purchase of a big shot was a mistake, how wrong was I? Along came nesties, embossing folders, etc and now I couldn't make a card without the big fella! But I still have those original dies I hardly use. Well, I got them out from the back of the crafty cupboard and am determined to use them. So here is a card with die cut balloons, quite effective.
The stamp is from my new Penny Black set 'a good catch' coloured with water colour pencils. The sentiment is from a Hero Arts set.
I am entering my card into the Papertake challenge....anything goes.

Don't crafting trends change fast with all the new crafty inventions.
I bet you are glad you revisited some of your earlier dies - your card is fab, I love the stripy balloon ties. One of the first things I got for craft making were balloon punches. I had balloons on everything!!
