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:

Blueberry Bushel – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded lower left corner

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.

The left hand balloons was coloured using 2^nd generation Grapefruit Grove ink with detail added using the Grapefruit Grove Stamp ‘n write marker.
