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

Above the Clouds

Posted on July 19, 2019July 3, 2019 by Mo Rootes

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.
