This week it's Elizabeth's turn to have a little nap and dream up a challenge dream for us all to follow. The dream? why it is Dragon's Dream TIO of course, and Elizabeth's Dream is Look to the Skies.
Years ago when planes and things were not quite such a common sight in the skies or at least not over Newmarket where we lived at the time, My mother used to thrill at the sight of airplanes pointing upward and saying look! So Look to the skies evokes memories of man made objects in the air. For the tag hot air balloons seemed more fun and these Clarity stamps seem perfect.
Using glossy card cut to tag shape and brayered with Big 'n Juicy 'Waterfall' then stamped using Memento. The balloon's were coloured with Viva Gloss Gel. A piece of acetate cut to the tags size and stamped with Brown Stayzon.
Check out what the team have made for the theme at Dragon's Dream TIO. We are all looking forward to seeing your take on the theme.
Yes, skies are very fascinating. Love your ballon card! Hugs, Valerie

Fabulous perspective on this Zoe.
ReplyDeleteI lived the other side of Cambridge to you as a child and we had an RAF base quite close. Much of what I remember being in the sky are jets and I loved it when they broke the sound barrier.
Have a great day.
