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

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

Kraft Renaissance

Back before Kraft became Crumb Cake, I hardly ever touched it. Not sure why, just oversight I guess, but I find myself reaching for it more and more these days. I love how it goes with just about any other colour and I am especially loving the vintage look it gives when teamed with black and vanilla.

Here are a few cards I've made recently in that style.

The first one I had in my head ever since I saw A Little Treat in the December Frenzy and I'm quite pleased with how it all came together.

Next I have broken out my Elements of Style set. This is one I loved from the moment I saw it and was thrilled to see it in our new catalogue. The hint of colour is Baja breeze.

Lastly I've combined Elements of Style with Sense of Time. I have seen some really gorgeous cards using this combo in various forms, so I have no doubt I'll be trying out some more of these myself.

Tomorrow: my first UStamp project. Thanks for stopping by.
