Miles Above the Rest

Photo Details

Poster: KCraft

Here's my card to honor Loll. When I saw her "The Sky's the Limit" card, I thought it would work well with my Hot Air Balloon Stamp.

The Sky's the Limit by Loll Thompson at Splitcoaststampers

Since it's going to be a birthday card for my nephew who is turning 20, I kept the colors a little subdued and then thought I needed to add the contrasting brown background to punch up the masculinity a bit.

Thanks for sharing your creativity, Loll. I enjoyed browsing your gallery.

Wow! This is wonderfully f-u-n-! I love that you are enjoying the challenges, and doing such a great job too. These colors are great, and I love the window. Beautiful work!

This is gorgeous!!!! I love the whole setup. The squares look great in the background and everything "floating" overtop it. Really well done!
