Simple card: stamped the cityscape and gave pale washes in some areas. Watercolored a hot air balloon which I had free-handed and then glued onto the scene.

Wow! I love the stamp you used and the simple gray washes are so effective! I always look for your cards in the gallery and am amazed at your talent. The pink balloon is definitely a worthy focal point. You've created another winner!

Very pretty, Sallie. Love the combination of the sketched cityscape and your watercolored hot air balloon. Thanks for flying high and playing in my challenge.

I don't know which I like better - the cityscape or the red balloon. This card is certainly a winner. It makes me think of Paris, though I'm sure it's not.

Bravo you, Sallie, for having the restraint to basically only add color to the balloon. It takes one up, up and away from the drabness of the city to Beautiful possibilities far beyond.
