Up, Up and Away

I have been eyeing the Up, Up and Away stamp set for awhile and when Michelle Zindorf made a card with the set that I fell in love with I had to buy it.  Now I have not been brave enough to try to recreate her card as I am not great at brayering but I did use her ideas and took them in my own direction.   Check out Michelle's Up, Up, and Away card Here.

I used Summer Smooches DSP as my Colour guide and stamped the Balloons in coordinating colours on scrap white.  Using my Whisper White Ink and Bashful Blue Card Stock I created a sky by sponging some white onto the blue paper.  I added a very faint "Make a Wish" sentiment in the sky using White and Bashful Blue Inks.  I then cut out the balloons and using my Stamp-a-ma jig I stamped the buckets on the CS and popped the balloons.  I stamped some birds and then set out to cut flags using the Summer Smooches DSP.  A little Daffodil Delight paper and an Indigo Ink base and the card was done, almost.

I then added a layer of Whisper White Card Stock to the inside of the card and decorated it. 



I am loving this stamp set!  Below are just some of the items used while making this card.  To place an order just check out my Stampin Up website!
