It was so much fun colouring the bird (see it here) from Time To Celebrate, I decided to continue another stamp from that hostess set, the hot air balloon using the sketch at Just Add Ink. The Stampin' Write markers were what I wanted, especially because the fine tip on these is VERY precise. Stazon Black ink is needed for stamping when you use markers. I pulled out an Aquapainter when I'd finished to soften the plain sections of yellow (So Saffron) and aqua (Coastal Cabana).
I felt that some clouds were needed too, so out with a sponge dauber and a mask made from a scallop circle. I'm so glad I hung onto the stamp set with the sentiment, 'blowing wishes your way.' Perfect with this image.
I think the next stamp from that set I might use is the big cake.

Love your choice of scene, Rachel. It's perfect for the sketch. Great colouring & a very sweet card. Thanks for playing at Just Add Ink this week. Di :-)
ReplyDeleteThe sponged clouds, and primary colours, look awesome on your card Rachel. I love how you used the balloon as the circle element of the sketch. Thanks for playing along with us at Just Ad Ink this week!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you used the angle to make it feel like your balloon is flying away Rachel - its delightful! Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Rachel! Love the hot air balloon stamp :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colouring and I love the added touch of the clouds! I think the angle of the sketch helps it look like it's floating away :)
