I've always wanted to ride in a hotair balloon...


Thinking of you!

Hello friends! :) I don't know about you but ever since I saw the movie The Ugly Truth, I've always wanted to ride in a hotair balloon. Weird considering I've an irrational fear of heights...*LOL* 
 
Just wanted to share this week's Get Sketchy card.
Clouds were stamped and embossed with clear embossing powder. Sky was misted and the clouds were further defined by distress ink in denim. Hot air balloon was stamped and popped up on 3D dots. American Crafts patterned paper and stamp. Ribbon. SRM sticker sentiment. A little handstitching.

P/s: You have another week to play along with my guest Erika's distressed challenge. There will be another awesome guest next week with some tips on a cool technique! :)
