Lifting Your Spirits

  I’m back today with a card.  I’m using one of the cute stamps in the Holiday Gift Guide from Close To My Heart.  This promotion runs now until December 31.  If the card looks familiar it is because I used the same design for one of my pastor appreciation cards last week.  Scroll down to find it if you want to refresh your memory.  I thought the design worked well for this card too.  The inside reads "Thanks for the lift!".
 
  It is hard to see, but I stamped clouds from the stamp set with Sky ink.  There are three different size clouds in this set.  The hot air balloon is also from the set.  I stamped it onto White Daisy cardstock and again onto Kraft cardstock for the basket and Bamboo for the sandbags.  The balloon and flag are stamped onto papers from the Sarita paper pack.  I cut them out and then glued them onto the balloon stamped on the White Daisy.  I used the CCR for the house, trees, clouds, and sun.  The hills were already saved in the CCR so I just made the other cuts relative to size with them.
