Up, Up and Away!

Hi there!  There's a new challenge starting up over at Double D Challenges and the theme is "Skies".  This could be open to lots of interpretations. 
 
I went completely whimsical with my card using a Pretty Pink Posh set called  "Fly Away Friends" that I was given a while ago from a dear stamping friend. 

I embossed the background using a cloud embossing folder and added Stitched Majestic Mountains from Poppy Stamps.  


After stamping and die cutting the images, I colored them using Copics and added more clouds from Memory Box Stitched Cloud Trio. The sun is an old die from Lil' Inker Designs.  

I hope you'll join in on the fun.  You can find all the details here.

Here's the prize you could win when you play along:
Lavinia Papers - 6x6 - Blue Sky

Lavinia Papers - 6 x 6 - Blue Sky

Thanks for stopping by!
