Faith would like us to use balloons to celebrate the first recorded circumnavigation of the globe by hot air balloon achieved in 1999
I used a recently purchased beautifully layered hot air balloon die from Magnolia.
I made my background with Yupo, alcohol inks with guilding flakes adhered to some of the edges of the colors on the background.
I used a Small Talk Sticker for the sentiment. I sponged Old Paper Distress ink around the edges of the balloon and cloud and rubbed Gold Pigment ink around the edges of the card.

That is a very cool balloon die. I really like how you did it all in a neutral color to show off that wonderful yupo bg with those bits of guilding flakes....fabulous!

Wow, what a unique and beautiful die, and an equally amazing background - the gilding flakes are so effective for giving the impression of looking down at the ground below.
