Today we are celebrating the first successful circumnavigation of the globe by hot air balloon. I used this fun stamp & die set from Sizzix to create a vintage looking balloon sailing across a sepia colored sky brushed with crumb cake over torn paper strips. Used a border die to create the "mountaintops" and some gold gel pen for accents. Hope you will add more balloons to our gallery!

Faith, this is such a gorgeous card. I love the heart-shaped balloon; it's such a clever idea and I don't think I've seen anything like it before. The vintage sepia look really works here.

This I just love - the muted earth tones contrasting with the rich purple of the gondola, the dimension of the balloon... and the border makes an amazing mountain range.
