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.
Cheers
