This is for this week's Featured Stamper Sunny (Sunnylovespaper). What a fun gallery!! I knew I was wanting to use this set for a co-worker who is getting a new job. So, I found this awesome card of Sunny's: You’re going places! by Sunnylovespaper at Splitcoaststampers
So, I used similar themes, a hot air balloon and sky and also white dies. I changed up the BG and the stamps/dies.
I was also inspired by this photo for the Inspiration challenge: https://www.potterybarnkids.com/prod...s&isx=0.0.1971
This lined up with the ideas I already had in my head roughly. I knew I wanted to watercolor a BG, so this was perfect.
My sweet stamping buddy continues to clean out her craft stash as she gets ready to move. She gave me this set and dies and also the markers. I scribbled some ink on a block and spritzed it with water. Then I used a flat paint brush to make my strokes. The colors really lightened up, but I was happy with how they turned out.

This just perfect! You got the shunk off and the ink on. Bet you had fun knowing exactly what to use, do, and who! It will look great with a more traditional Delft look.

Michelle, I love your pretty watercolored swathes of color and the saying is perfect with the balloon. Your friend will love it! Oh, and I looked up the Pottery Barn image and now I want that shower curtain! lol.
