I'm working on using my stamp sets that are retiring that haven't seen ink yet. You may have noticed that all the cards and scrapbook pages that I have shared recently are on the retiring list. This set and coordinating punch are also on the list.
I seem to purchase every hot air balloon set that Stampin' Up! has come up with. I'm not sure why I'm attracted to them as I have NO desire to take a ride in one. I am not a fan of heights and the idea of being in a basket with just a balloon keeping me in the air is not my idea of fun and yet I buy these sets! Hmm...
I created a sunset in the background of these balloons using my inks and sponges. I started at the bottom of the die cut with Blushing Bride. Then added Calypso Coral and finally Terracotta Tile. I water colored the blue balloon. Want to know why? Well, I didn't look at the set closely and was stamping in a hurry. I didn't realize there was a solid image to color the balloon in! Oh well!
Blushing Bride clouds add just the right touch to make you feel like you are a mile high!
I used the Blends to color these balloons in. Remember, I didn't realize there was a stamp! Could have saved myself some time by just looking! I did some masking on this card. I punched the balloon out of copy paper and laid it over the stamped balloons on my project. Then I stamped the clouds. That is why it looks like the balloons are going through the clouds.
I made a set of scrapbook pages that I will be sharing tomorrow. Come back and see!
Happy Stampin'!
