So, I had the idea I could you know dry brush the sky to add some texture and I kept going outside to look at the sky but, today is one of the few "blue ish" skies we have had recently around here due to forest fire smoke. everything you see here was something I just painted. This is a first try, I have some masking fluid (Windsor newton) and I did sketch the balloon and use that for that then painted the sky & mountains and then pulled that off to do the balloon) this was mostly free hand I did have some leaks under the tape at the top but, decided to just roll with what I had. The colors here are an "inspired by" this pin seen here. I did skip the trees, I forgot they were in the foreground. And then I did end up placing the finished card into a scrap booking sized Misti to do the sentiment after it was all dry. ( its a little too tall for a medium sized one) You can find this challenge here to play along with us. tfl.

Great hand-sketched balloon .... the deckle edge scissors are just the right touch for your pretty card! Love the font of your sentiment, too.

Well done! I really like how the scene goes off the panel. Hubby & I had our honeymoon in S Oregon, complete with a hot air balloon ride. Our view was not as nice as your card...went over what looked like Li'l Abner's farm and log floats.

Very cool card, Stacy. Wonderful sky, fun balloon and wonderful sentiment. I didn't even know there was a scrapbook sized MISTI - I am behind on everything!
Fab site you chose - brought back lots of memories for me when I used to be on a chase team. Thanks for the inspiration and your card is fabulous! Hugz
