Its time for a new inspiration challenge at Skipping Stones Design and this week its a color combo and/or trigger photo. You have all week to enter and one lucky winner will win an SSD stamp set of their choice! SO go get stamping!
When I spotted the map I thought of this What's Up paper from Basic Grey that just also happened to have balloons, so guess what stamp set got pulled out? Uplifting! I started by spraying all my papers with Frost and Copper Sheer Shimmer Spritzs from Tsukineko. All edges were then inked with Smokey Gray Versafine (Tsukineko).
I then heat embossed my 3 balloons (and the sentiment) with Sepia Versafine and clear EP. I cut the balloons all out and popped them up with Crafty Foam tape.
Here's a closer shot at the sentiment (one of many from the Uplifting set)
