The Sky's the Limit

Hi there,

today I would like to show you this card:

• use kraft cardstock as a cardbase
• create a sky background on watercolor paper using Distress Inks (Tumbled Glass, Faded Jeans) and the Mini Ink Blending Tool 
• add little splatters of Distress Stain (Picket Fence)
• use white embossing paste, a palette knife and the Hero Arts Cloudy Stencil to add the cute fluffy clouds and put DIY Glitter embossing powder on top - melt the embossing powder right away to let the clouds get even fluffier
• stamp the two air balloons from Lawn Fawn Blue Skies and a matching sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black directly to the panel 
• paper piece the air balloons with Pebbles Basics Card Making Pad and adhere them to the panel using foam tape on top and liquid glue at the bottom
• add white gel pen to the bottom part of the balloons and Glossy Accents all over to get that extra shine and dimension
• for the basket I used real burlap - I cut out the stamped shape and added matte multi medium to make the fibres stick together
• glitter stars and sequins add a finishing touch

Here is a closeup:
