A lovely cheerful thank you card featuring Hot Air Balloons and Stampin' Up! products

Above the Clouds

Oooh this is such a cute card made using the Above the Clouds stamp set and Hot Air Balloon Punch. I love balloons they always look so serene drifting across the sky. I was lucky enough to take a balloon ride over the Valley of the  Kings in Egypt a few years ago, a truly magical experience.

To recreate the Above the Clouds card you will need;

Night of Navy card base 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded lower right corner
Poppy Parade 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded lower right corner
Whisper White 5½” by 3¾” – rounded lower right corner x 2
Night of Navy 5½” by ⅛” x 2
Scrap Whisper White and Crumb Cake

I used Post It tape to mask off an area on one of the Whisper White panels. I dabbed a bit of Balmy Blue ink and Blueberry Bushel ink onto a clear block and added a little glycerine. This makes the ink gone on more smoothly and gives a better blended effect. I applied the inks using Sponge Daubers starting with the Balmy Blue and adding in the Blueberry Bushel towards the bottom. I left the panel to dry.

I stamped the outline balloons in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then stamped the solid infill colour in Poppy Parade ink and Pineapple Punch ink and punched them out using the Hot Air Balloon Punch. The baskets were stamped in Crumb Cake onto Crumb Cake cardstock and punched them out as well.

I added the ⅛” Night of Navy strips either side of the ink blended area and glued the panel to the Poppy Parade layer. This was then added to a Night of Navy card base.
