Above the Clouds

Here is a sweet card made using the soon to be retiring Above the Clouds stamp set teamed up with the gorgeous Mountain Air stamp set.

To recreate the Above the Clouds card you will need:

Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded lower left corner
Blueberry Bushel – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded lower left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded lower left corner – one for the inside
Scrap Whisper White and Crumb Cake

Taking one of the Whisper White layers I added Blueberry Bushel ink using a Sponge Brayer to achieve an ombre effect from side to side.

Using Soft Suede ink I stamped the detailed and the solid mountain images from the Mountain Air stamp set along the bottom of the inked panel. The panel was then adhered to the Blueberry Bushel layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, then to the Thick Whisper White card base with the same glue.

I stamped the 3 hot air balloons in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto scrap Whisper White card and punched them out using the Hot Air Balloon Punch. The left hand balloons was coloured using 2nd generation Grapefruit Grove ink with detail added using the Grapefruit Grove Stamp ‘n write marker. The bunting was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured using the light Lovely Lipstick, Pineapple Punch and Call Me Clover Blends Markers.
