Steampunk Hot Air Balloon Embellishment

Hi everyone!  This week I wanted to show what great embellishments you can make with items from Gina's Designs!!

We are also having a cross promotion with The Robin's Nest this month!

I used the Steampunk Border for this embellishment.

I cut off the hot air balloon from the bottom.  And this is what I created with it!!

I first gave it a couple coats of gesso.  I then painted it with paints from ColourArt.  I then added some pattern paper from my stash.

I added some dew drops from The Robin's Nest.  I also added a large dew drop to the bottom gear.  I then added some crackle medium to the top of the balloon in all the little openings.

This is now ready to add to any project, like a card, tag, or maybe even a layout.  I will be using this at a later time in an upcoming project.  Or maybe I just might put a magnet on the back and hang it up.  This would make a great magnet for the fridge, hmmm....  The possibilities!!!!!
