Are you ready for another Verve Sneak Peek??? Today is day 3 and it is the final day with the release starting tonight at 9pm EST. You can read all about it HERE!
For my card today, I used the brand new Verve set called Up, Up and Away! For the sentiment on the inside, I used the new Happy Father's Day Plain Jane stamp.
The layout is from Julee's Mojo Monday sketch #87. The base is Baja Breeze and then a mat of Chocolate Chip and Whisper White on the top and striped Parisian Breeze DP on the bottom. I punched the top edge of the Parisian Breeze with my wavy EK Success border punch. I stamped the 2 trees using Chocolate Chip ink by masking the first one and then colored using my Prismacolor Pencils. I masked the tree again and then stamped the clouds using Baja Breeze ink. I then cut out the image using my Circle Nesties and then I added clear fine Martha glitter to the clouds. I then lined this piece up on top of my square and then stamped the hot air balloon on both the circle and my square using Chocolate Chip ink. I stamped the basket again on Whisper White and the balloon on the polka dot DP from the same Parisian Breeze paper pack. The basket was then colored using Prismacolor pencils and mounted it on top of the first stamped basket and did the same with the balloon. I then added some clouds on this piece as well. The circle image was matted on Chocolate Chip and adhered on top of the square and May Arts ribbon using dimensionals. Here is a closer look at the image ~

Beautiful inside and out! I just love the look of your clouds and I must get that wavy border thingy (if I don't already have it and just can't find it! LOL!).
