Hey everybody! Happy Monday – can you believe we’re almost a week into February already?! Christmas will be here before you know it! Bahahaha (just kidding)! Leslie here, sharing an inspiration project featuring the Prickley Pear Stamps Hot Air Balloons stamp set and coordinating Hot Air Balloon die! I stenciled a nice cloud background in stormy sky distress ink for this 3D hot air balloon that I created with several balloon die cuts!
The card base was cut from heavyweight white cardstock along with five hot air balloons (using the Hot Air Balloon die) from a patterned paper in my stash. I stenciled the card front using a cloud edges stencil, a blending brush and blue distress ink. There was good cloud coverage from top to bottom, lighter at the bottom, darker at the top.
Next, I stamped the balloon and sentiment from the Hot Air Balloons stamp set in black ink. Then I cut the bottom off each balloon die cut and scored them down the middle. To create the 3D element, I adhered the right side of one to the left side of the next until all five were attached to each other. Finally, I adhered the balloon to the card front over top of the stamped balloon. The finishing touch was adding several blue gemstones.
