CYS: Take Flight ....

Good Morning, friends!

It's been a busy, hectic week and weekend

and I'm finally coming up for air :)

For February's Challenge Your Stash theme,

Laurajean asked us to create a card with:  Take Flight!

Such a wonderful theme and the possibilities are endless.

The purpose of CYS is to use things only in our craft stash ~

nothing can new and it's a fantastic opportunity to use our hoarded

supplies that we don't use very often ;)

And I found several stamps!

It was hard to narrow down which stamp to use,

and in the end, I actually made two cards.

Here is the one that made the cut ;)

Not too far from our house, we often see the hot air balloon rising 

in the dawn of the morning.

It's exquisite to see them, bursting with color

as they rise against the glorious morning sunrise.

While they terrify me personally and not on my bucket list, LOL,

hot air balloons are a beautiful way to Take Flight!

My card was created by using watercolors - this has quickly become an obsession of mine!
I colored/fussy cut the hot air balloon with prismacolor markers 
and popped it up on the card with 3D foam.  
There was a sentiment that says Fly Away in this stamp set,
which more aptly fit the theme,
but I thought this sentiment made the card more well rounded :)  
 

Thanks for stopping by today!

 Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥
