Up, Up and Away

Just for a change from zentangle I thought I'd show some paper piecing using both stamps and dies, as well as how inking up an embossing folder can add depth and detail.

I started off by using a brayer to apply Versafine Majestic Blue ink to the inside front panel of the Crafters Companion Embossalicious 8"x8" cloud embossing folder and embossed a piece of white card.  This enabled me to get raised white clouds against a blue sky background.

I die cut both sizes of Memorybox balloon using 3 different coordinating papers and also stamped all three sizes of Claritystamp balloon stamp onto each of the same three papers.  Having trimmed down as appropriate I matted the different coloured papers together creating a little depth.  I then used a black fineline pen to add dashed lines round the die cut balloon layers, to tie them in with the stamped images.
