Hot Air

Nothing looks more like springtime in the desert than a hot air balloon floating over the mountains. My card for this week's Paper Smooches Sparks challenge combines my Phoenix flying hot air balloons with my New England skyscrapers.


Here is the sketch to follow this week...



My cityscape works as the horizontal strip on the bottom with the sentiment, and I tried to add my balloons in a semi circle direction to follow that part of the sketch.


Paper piecing with Paper Smooches stamps is my favorite thing to do! I used pattern paper from My Mind's Eye "The Sweetest Thing - Tangerine" pack and the cloud pattern is vellum from Dear Lizzy "Neapolitan" collection. The ink used is StazOn in Jet Black. Paper Smooches stamps from "Metropolis" and "Chit Chat"
