for todays challenge we were to use elements of earth, wind, fire or water... I chose wind for the hot air balloons....using a background stamp, I inked it with yellow, then added terra cotta at the bottom and patina beauty at the top...before stamping on the cs, I stamped the edges with purple eggplant...I stamped the images in purple also although it looks gray in the picture, then I embossed entire bg using clear matte embossing powder. for the edges of the cs, I used silver embossing powder...
Thanks for taking a peek... Hope you like it....

Wow, I love this BG and the colors you used. Super idea on the wind for the Elements challenge. This card is so beautifully done. Thank you for creating a card for the Elements challenge.

I would like to see this card IRL. I don't think the picture does it justice. Love the bg, and with the added embossing, it must look really neat. Thanks for sharing.

I agree with Linda (Holstein) - I'd love to lay eyes on this! The background is beautiful; thanks for reminding of a great trip to Albuquerque and the Balloon Fiesta!
