Ballooning through the Mountains by Reneé Matarese

Hello and happy Thursday everyone!

Yesterday there was a new release on the Art Impressions website.

I've used the new 5789 – Hot Air Balloon Set.



This set is very special to me because I grew up in a ballooning community.
My neighbor was the first pilot in my area and we host a Hot Air Balloon festival every year.
I've been up twice for full flights and when I was a child he used to let us help set up the 
balloon and would "hop" us through his pastures on tethered rides for fun.



Though we don't quite have mountains like these in my area, I couldn't resist using the 5198 – WC Mountain Set with the balloons.  The matte was cut with a frame from 5768 – Decorative Journal Page Set 1. The striped paper is from 5835 – Mini Journal Paper Pack and the sentiment is from 5797 – Little Things Sentiment Set.




 

Be sure to check out our two challenges for your chance to win free stamps!


I can't share the second one just yet because it's set to go live at noon.
I hope you enjoy them!

Renee I love your card. I like how you framed the mountains. Actually I like everything about the card.

This card is so cute! I've only been in a tethered hot air balloon. It was fun, but not sure I would feel comfortable going freestyle. 🙂

Renee, your card is so beautiful!! I love the mountain backdrop to your beautiful balloons! I've never been up in one, so I'll just live vicariously through your stories!
