Embellish Color Challenge with Labels

Hi Everyone! Today I have a card to share for the latest Embellish Magazine challenge. I have to admit that the colors were a HUGE challenge for me. No green? No blue? What am I to do!

But with a little inspiration I did it! I am so lucky to live in an area where we see lots of hot air balloons. I love love love seeing them at sunset. Something about the silhouette against the colored sky is so magical. So with that memory combined with the challenge and my Up Up and Away set I created this...


There is A LOT of Nichole Heady influence here. :) I couldn't help but try a few of her tricks. The sunset and the stripe on the silk ribbon were created with my Copics. The hot air balloons were kept simple with some brown ink. I finished the card off with a few gems and the sentiment on the banner.


Thanks for stopping by!


Materials:
Stamps: Papertrey Ink Up Up and Away
Ink: Colorbox, Memento Tuxedo Black, VersaMark
Paper: Papertrey Ink Melon Berry, Lemon Tart, Dark Chocolate
Other: Silk Ribbon, Copics, Gems
