Patchwork Balloons

I couldn't resist buying this little cutie with my last purchase from LOTV and I've really loved colouring him up.  The balloons didn't seem to be the usual transparent type, so I was able to have a bit more fun with the shading on them.

I've also used my WRS corner die and have cut it twice, putting one in each top corner. They're just the right size to meet with a neat little join which is hardly noticeable (unless you know where to look, so don't zoom in too closely!)

I'm not sure I got the shading quite right on the bear, but I still like the finished card. I hope you do too. :0)
