Up, up and away

I love this new set by Papertrey Ink. I wasn't sure how much I would like some of the distressed images, but once the image is stamped, I don't even notice the distressing much. I stamped the hot air balloons and focal panel without much of a plan and thought I would just do a neutral card front. When I went to put everything together, something was missing. I went through my patterned paper and couldn't believe how well this piece by Comso Cricket matched the colors I had already used! I am really happy with how this card turned out! I also used the "hill" from Wonderfully Whimsical and a sentiment from Enjoy the Ride.

Erica..what a great card. I totally told myself I wasn't going to get that set. That I didn't like it and all, but this card is pushing me a little closer to the buy button over at PTI. I love how you used the hills with it ad I am a total sucker for patterned paper...lol
