I started off by giving my white cardstock a colourful border by backing my cardstock on botanical bliss patterned paper then machine stitching a border around the edge of my white cardstock. I think it helps add more colour to the layout.  Next using my silhouette I cut out the hot air balloon using my cameo and white cardstock then using the expressive patterned paper I cut out the heart that goes with the cut file to add over the top of the heart balloon 

And decided to ad some hand stitching around the edges of the balloon 

And as it’s a balloon in the air I couldn’t resist adding a few clouds cut from good vibes patterned paper 

Using my silhouette cameo and yep of cause I had to add some hand stitching to them! Then it was time to start adding some beautiful flowers from the ephemera pack around the balloon 

I then matted my photo on a few bits of patterned paper from the 6x8 paper Pad.

Using the accessory stickers I added butterflies to a bit of cardstock before adding them to my layout 

So I could bend them to give them a little bit of dimension on my layout and to add a few stickers around my photo.
