Above the Clouds meets Waterfront

Hello and welcome to my haven in a hectic world, hope you're having a great day!

Happy Birthday Duncan!

I have a few of the "waterfront" type stamp sets now and feel I'm starting to get better with them.

I really enjoyed making this one.

All measurements are in centimetres.

(cs) = cardstock, (ep) = embossing powder, (ss) = stamp set.

Terracotta Tile 21 x 14.5 scored at 10.5 (card base), Seaside Spray 9.7 x 13.7 (1st layer), sWhisper White 13.3 x 9.3 (2nd layer), 7 x 4.5 Balloon.

• Stamp the sentiment from the itty bitty greetings (ss) in memento black ink onto the seaside spray 1st layer and punch out using the classic label punch (this is called gutting, the hole that is left doesn't get seen).
• Adhere the 1st layer to the card base using liquid glue.
• Prime the top half of the whisper white 2nd layer with your embossing buddy and then stamp the clouds from the above the clouds (ss) in versaMark and heat emboss using clear (ep).
• Stamp your scene making sure there's a top, middle and bottom area, using the waterfront (ss) and appropriate colours. I used balmy blue and pool party for the sky (sponge method), gray granite for the mountains, seaside spray for the water, mossy meadow for grass, shaded spruce & early espresso for the trees, then more sponging at the bottom using sahara sand and terracotta tile (very lightly). The birds are stamped in memento black.
• With the small piece of whisper white (cs) stamp the full balloon in terracotta tile and then over stamp with one of the outline balloons in memento black and punch out using the hot air balloon punch. Stamp the outline of the basket in memento black and punch out too.
• Colour the basket using a bronze stampin' blend.
• Adhere the second layer to the card base using liquid glue.
• Attach the balloon using dimensional pads.
• Cut the sentiment straight on the left and diagonal on the right, then attach to the card base using dimensional pads.

Will be back again soon with more cards. Thanks for stopping by.
