Allsorts Week 186/187 - Its as simple as black and white

Hi

Its a two week challenge this time at allsorts to allow for the christmas break and this time its brenda's turn to host our challenge which is "its as simple as black and white"

I am fed up of christmas cards now so thought i would use this penny black image in a different way, i got the ballons free with a magazine and for some reason they fell into my hand when i was searching around for inspiration!

So its a balloon ride on a winters day!



Happy Crafting and Happy Christmas
