Stampin' Up! Above the Clouds Hi, Friend Card

My card today starts off with Pool Party cardstock. I then took a pattern from the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper and matted it on Whisper White cardstock.

I then cut out a Whisper White circle using the Stitched Shapes Dies and trimmed off one of the sides. I stamped the clouds from the Above the Clouds Stamp Set on it in Pool Party ink.

I stamped the outline of the hot air balloon and basket in Calypso Coral on Whisper White cardstock and the inside in the same, only stamped off for a lighter shade. I cut them out using the coordinating Hot Air Balloon Punch.

I stamped the outside of the flag in Pool Party ink and the inside in the same, stamped off. I fussy cut this out to adhere over the balloon.

I stamped the sentiment from the Above the Clouds in Calypso Coral ink. I cut it out using the Stitched Rectangles Dies. I shortened the size to make it fit better.

To see how I shortened the die, you can check out this video I did for a different card that uses the same technique.

Enjoy!

Today’s card was inspired by this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
