The Sky's the Limit

Here's my card for this week's Paper Craft Planet sketch challenge. Kim's designed a great sketch featuring a slanted focal image panel.

I made a simple scene using images and dies from Papertrey Ink. I cut a trio of clouds from a blue panel, then layered the cut panel over a plain white one using foam tape to create a fun sky background. One of the hot air balloons from the Up, Up and Away set is set over the scene using foam tape, too. I cut the balloon with the coordinating die and colored it with Copic markers in blues and greens.

I stamped one of the coordinating sentiments on a square panel in turquoise ink. A trio of brads fills in the empty space left under the words.

I used a dotted paper from the Green Boutique paper pack across the front of the green card base, bordered with pale blue to match the sky panel. I added a row of paper piercing along the bottom edge of the dotted panel as a simple accent.

If you get a chance to play along, upload your card to the PCP gallery using the keyword sk060510 so it can be added to the album with the rest of this week's creations.
