The Sky is the Limit

Today's card is another one of those I've been meaning to make for a while, so I am glad to get it off my To Do list at last! Inspired by a number of cards I've seen around, it's another balloon.



DH was kind enough to point out that balloons are generally wider at the top and narrow at the bottom - aren't men so practical? LOL! But he said he likes it anyway - "nicely graphic" apparently! What can you say?!


Materials used:
  • stamps - A Little Treat, Word Play
  • card - crumb cake, soft suede, whisper white, Elegant Soiree DSP
  • inks - soft suede, marina mist
  • other - sponges, dimensionals, wide oval punch
Thanks for stopping by today.

Cheers
Kez

PS the clouds were traced from chipboard shapes - I have NO talent whatsoever for drawing freehand shapes!!!

    Oh Kez - this is gorgeous - love the Elegant Soiree used as the sky - the sentiment is so appropriate.

    This is gorgeous! I just had to have A Little Treat many months ago, and it still remains in my cupboard brand new. You've inspired me to crack it open today - I hope.

    Love your card.

    I LOVE this card; the colour combo, the use of punch - just gorjus! Did you just freehand the cloud shape?
