When it's not your lucky day card...

hello!

Here's a card i made creating my own papers for Love to Scrap! challenge "Back it Up!"

the challenge is sponsored by Bugaboo and Eureka Stamps.

i chose this "it got away boy" image by Eureka stamps:

i used blue paint to make the blue papers: a plain paper and a splattered one.

and for the one with the boy, i sewed it, grated the edges, then distressed them, then stamped with flourishes and added some glitter spots.

i glued a wool strand on a metallic strand to make the ballon hold

when it's not your lucky day, you might need a hug, hence the "hug coupon"
