Good morning! Today I have a trio of cards to share that feature hot air balloons and dreamy sky scenes! I'm using lots of supplies from Simon Says Stamp including a fun 3D embossing folder that I hadn't had a chance to use yet! I have a fascination with hot air balloons - I really hope someday to take a ride in one, but it also slightly terrifies me at the same time. There is nothing scary about these cards though - and I'd love to step into one of these!
I started off with the Adrift Air Balloons embossing folder - it also has a coordinating die which is extra fun! I die cut several balloons first, then ran them through the embossing folder by setting them in place. This way I didn't destroy the dimension by die cutting afterwards. I ink blended onto each one (ink colors are all linked below if you're curious!), and then gave them a good spritz of glitter spray, splashing on some larger drips for extra texture and sparkle. I set those aside to dry, and started creating my backgrounds. I used Lawn Fawn Gleeful Gradients 6x6 paper pad for the backgrounds (which is how I chose my ink colors to blend on the balloons). I die cut them using A2 Rectangles dies, then cut the next size rectangle from Champagne Glitter cardstock to add a sparkly frame. I die cut several clouds using the Birthday Blitz dies from white cardstock, and also stamped and die cut sentiments from the same set. Then it was just a matter of laying everything out and adhering to my card with a mix of foam adhesive and adhesive tape. I added a bow with Lawn Fawn white twine, and a few coordinating sparkly Dazzling Gems to finish them off! Here is a closer look at the finished cards:
