This week the
Dream Schemes Team was challenged to a teal and yellow colorway by our own
Kristi. I chose to play with the
Hot Air Balloon stencil which had been calling to me for awhile now. First I stenciled Versamark ink through the image twice over the teal cardstock and embossed with pastel yellow embossing powder. Then I paste-embossed the image once and set it aside to dry. Meanwhile, I covered a strip of cardstock with
double-sided adhesive, rubbed
soap over the back of the stencil (preventing the stencil from being stuck permanently), and glittered the portion of
Bird Words stencil that I wanted to use with teal glitter. After I removed the stencil, I filled in the rest of the strip with pastel yellow glitter. By now the paste-embossed piece was dry, so I was able to place the stencil back over the surface. Using a large
dauber, I applied
Palette Glue over the surface in sections and covered these in the teal and yellow glitters, respectively. I think this card would be great for anyone taking the next step in their lives...a graduate, new employee, or even a retiree! Now is your opportunity to play along. Pull out your teal and yellow crafty goodness, and link your creation to Mr. Linky on the
Dream It Up! blog. For some incredible inspiration, visit the blogs of the rest of the team as listed at right.

This is such a fabulous stencil. You did a PERFECT card for the creation. Your colors are just right.
Oh, I just love how you did this. I like the darker color choices, the balloons, and especially the way you run the balloons off of the page. Awesome work!
Clever idea Pam! I really like the multiple balloon images. I agree it would make a great graduation card.
Great job! It does give the floating feeling and I love it. Love the hot air balloon! Great used of the colors too!
Pam.. your card makes me want to sail off in a hot air balloon. It is just beautiful.
You can just see the balloons floating right off the card. What a great job!
I love it. Didn't think to use the embossing powder. Love the dimension and the way your colors came out. Fantastic!!
Pam, I like how you shared what you would send the card to and what the occasion might be. Plus I am really loving these teal and yellow inspirations today...the hot air balloons really pop on this beautiful card!
I love the balloons on the corse paper. Very fun.
