April 2013 Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

The hot air balloon is my favorite part of this stamp set! The colors in the Later Sk8tr paper kit are some of my favorites. Together they just spoke to me to create this outdoorsy card! 

The background was made using a mask I cut out to create hills. Just cut a curve on a piece of printer paper! I first sponged the hill in the back then repositioned the mask to sponge the hill in front. It's that easy! The other technique I used was on the balloon. I used a baby wipe and squirted some reinkers on it to create a multicolor stamp pad. You can get some really great color combos with this technique. The  pieces for the balloon shapes are from the Cricut Artist cartridge and made it SO easy!
