Pirckley Pear Stamps ~ Up, up and away!

Hi friends!

Today the Design Team from

Prickley Pear showcases cards 

using stamps and sentiments and dies.

Before I show you my card, some exciting news ahead ...
  on January 23rd

 Prickley Pear Stamps celebrates the first New Release of 2017!  

For today's card, I've used the stamp set:  Hot Air Balloons.

This is one of my favorite stamp sets 

as it brings me back to a wonderful memory.

One of my dad's bucket list items was to once again fly a small Cessna.

My husband found an airport outside of Orlando, Florida

and the two of them went off flying

 while our 3 daughters and I watched from the ground and took pictures!

The two of them zipped off flying in a bright yellow plane,

and dad was able to check off that bucket list item ♥

 I have been watercoloring so much lately!
It's an absolutely fabulous creative outlet and a fun technique to apply to cards.
I usually hammer out a few pieces at a time 
and while you can apply a heat gun to use them almost immediately,
I prefer to let them dry naturally, almost always overnight!
The base of this card was made using the Recollections glimmer watercolors,
so there is a lot of sheen if you turn the card just right :)

         Here is the stamp set I used:

 

Have a fabulous day, friends!

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥
