CSL: Above the Clouds

Today I'm sharing one of the card designs I did for a recent New Catalog Swap I participated in (thanks Barbara W. for hosting). I loved this set as soon as I saw it - and knew I had to get it; especially thinking it would make a great graduation card with this sentiment. So for this card - the square of blue was made by stamping my "D" acrylic block directly onto my Seaside Spray (one of our new in-colors) pad - then spritzing it with a little water, and pressing it down on my card base. You can see each one turned out a little differently.

After that was done and dry - I stamped the little balloons right onto the card base overlapping that blue sky; and colored them with our markers. I stamped the large balloon and basket onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock, colored and punched out with our new Hot Air Balloon punch. You can find this bundle on page 89 of our new 2019 Annual Catalog. Then I added the sentiment and popped up the large balloon on dimensionals - added a little bling in the air and I was done.

If you don't have our new catalog and would like one - just drop me an email at crazystampinglady@gmail.com.
