The Sky's the Limit!

Here's another of the cards we will be creating in my upcoming mini card class:



This card uses the fun new set Up, Up & Away from the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog.  For the balloon, I stamped the solid balloon image first, then used markers to color the rubber of the striped balloon image, and stamped that on top of the solid balloon. 

A little hard to see in the photo, but the focal image is framed by the rectangular frame from the Designer Frames Textured Impressions Embossing Folders set. 

I created the cloud background by sponging around a cloud mask punched out from the Cupcake Builder Punch.

The greeting banner was cut free hand, the greeting stamped in Early Espresso, then the edges sponged with Real Red Classic Ink, and faux stitching added with Real Red Stampin' Write Marker around the edges.

Wouldn't this be a fun card for a birthday or graduation or congrats on a new job?  Lots of possibilities, I guess! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
