Hi and welcome back to Altered Dies #6! I have had so much fun with these altered dies. I do not have a hot air balloon die so I looked through my dies to see how I could make one. Here are the steps below.
I started with these 2 dies -- Spellbinders Birdcage 1 and the smallest Fleur de Lis Rectangle.
I snipped off the top of the birdcage with scissors.
I wanted the "basket" of the balloon to have more texture like a basket so I used the Spellbinders die Raindrops On Roses made for Heartfelt Creations.
I used glue stick to glue the die over the rectangle so that I could cut around it easily.
Here is a close up of the card to see the texture on the basket better.
I hope you enjoyed seeing how I made this hot air balloon. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful and blessed day!

Brilliant idea! I love to see dies used for other than the obvious. |Unfortunately I have no imagination since the accident so have to rely on Pinterest to inspire me.
You have made a brilliant hot air balloon!
This is so cute April! Love your use of the dies to create your hot air balloon with the cute little kitty. The background and those butterflies are great too!
