DeNami Design Up, Up and Away blog hop

 
Hello friends and welcome to the DeNami Design Sky's the Limit blog hop. I hope you have found tons of inspiration along the way. DeNami has such a variety of stamps to fit this theme, it was difficult to choose which stamps to use.
 
You are at the last two stops along the hop. You should've arrived from  Rachel's  blog. If you get lost, you can head back to the DeNami Design blog for a full list of participants.


Next up along the hop is my precious daughter, Leah. This is what Leah had to say about her card:
 
"On the picture, you'll see violet that is magic from the fairy chickie. It is sending the kite back down because it is charging at her. The balloons all have the same design because they are all bought at aqua, chocolate brown red heart. And her husband doesn't have wings because he was born out of a normal chickie and his wife was born out of a fairy chickie. So when it's her birthday, he has to ride in a hot air balloon to come. And her  husband lives on ground and his wife lives in the sky. And that is what I have to say about my card."



To create her card, she inked up Flower Fairy Chickie, Small cloud, Balloon Trio, Fly A Kite and Chickie in Balloon. She colored her images using my copics. Pretty soon she is going to need a set of her own. She loves to go over to the wall where I have my copic sheet hanging and pick out her colors.

So your last stop along the Sky's the Limit hop is me. It was difficult to choose which stamps to use. I really wanted to use some of my older stamps that I haven't inked up in a while, but I went with using a bit of old with the new.

 
For my card, I inked up Rainbow and colored it in with copics. Then using my quickie glue pen, I applied it to the red and sprinkled on some Ruby Red glitter. The  next color I actually colored in with a yellow copic, but sprinkled on some Champagne glitter. This made it a muted orange. The next band of the rainbow was colored in green, but then tuned a bit yellow after sprinkling on some Citron glitter. Lastly, I used some Aquamarine glitter on my blue band. 
 
I stamped Small Cloud twice on a separate piece of cardstock and trimmed them out with scissors. I stamped my sentiment Count Your Rainbows. Then I attached my clouds using foam adhesive. I added my image panel to some blue cardstock to finish off my card.
 
Don't forget about the THREE gift certificates that will be given away! One gift certificate will go to a random participant and TWO gift certificates to TWO people who comment along the hop! You have until May 19, 2014 11:59pm PST to comment and be eligible.
 
Thanks for stopping by!
