ATCs-Fly High

This month's theme for the ATC swap over on UK Stampers is 1 2 3. I'd just got my hands on a brilliant set of stamps and couldn't resist using the air balloon. I painted the background with Cosmic Shimmer paint then inked over some sequin waste to make the circles. The air balloons were stamped on the ATC and the balloons stamped again on old map paper then cut out and stuck down. The words were highlighted with Glossy Accents.
Really enjoyed making these because I love the balloon stamp and I always enjoy sloshing paint around!

The set


 I'm entering these in the Happy Daze Circling the World challenge. Please come along and join in!

    These are fab, love the hot air balloons & background. Reminds me of bubble wrap. Very effective.

    This design has movement in it - sounds all TV-speak but stamping over the edge has achieved this affect. It's great.
