I just love the trend lately of the long skinny cards that fit into the standard size business envelopes. Especially for scenes like this one today, because it allows for the background of clouds to blend more gradually.
To create my cloud background I used a Lawn Fawn puffy cloud die to cut out a few different sizes of cloud borders and then used it as a stencil to blend my distress oxide inks over, starting with a light colour at the bottom and working my way up with a darker colour.
My sightseeing monkey in the air balloon is from Mama Elephant 'Mini Monkey Agenda' and the air balloon is from WPlus9 'Up in the Air'. My sentiment is from WPlus9 'unforgettable' stamp set.
This card is being entered into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge 'Bright & Cheerful'.
