Go Get Carried Away

I love Mama Elephant's Up and Away set, so I was super excited to see the companion set Carried Away in their latest release.  As soon as it arrived in my mailbox, I inked it up for this card based on this week's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  The design also fits the new "up, up, and away" themed challenge at The Paper Players.

I used the set's large balloon and one of its child images along with a die from the Landscape Trio set to build my scene on a pale blue background.  The images were colored with Copic markers, then cut out with the matching dies.  I used foam tape to place them onto my background.  The "go get carried away" sentiment was stamped in the open space in navy ink.  I edged the panel with a strip of navy scalloped cardstock, then adhered it to a coordinating red card base.

Materials Used:
Carried Away stamp set, Carried Away and Landscape Trio dies (Mama Elephant); Memento Tuxedo Black and Nautical Blue inks (Tsukineko/IMAGINE Crafts); markers (Copic); Real Red, Bashful Blue, Night of Navy, and Shimmery White cardstock, scallop edge punch (Stampin' Up!); foam tape
