Monthly Themed Hop - Outdoor Theme and Patterned Paper

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I am excited to be a part of the "Collected Crafty Collabs" hop. Once a month I will be participating in the hop (June-December 2020). Each month there is a different theme. This month the theme is "Outdoors and Patterned Paper."  The idea is to use up products that we don't use on a regular basis. I have plenty of patterned paper that needs used up, and I have some red rubber stamps that I purchased last year but have not had the opportunity to use frequently. I was happy to bring them together to make a fun 6x6 card. 

 I selected the Northwoods Rubber Stamp Set "Cabin and Canoe" and selected the image of the Hot Air Balloons and two of the sentiments.

 These are red rubber stamps. 
 I used Memento Tuxedo Black Ink the stamp. 

 This is a close up of the stamp before I colored the hot air balloons.
 I used Kaiser Craft Gel Pens to color the images. 





I selected some pattern paper with clouds from one paper pad in my stash. I picked out a camping theme paper for my second paper. This paper has campers, tents, mountains and trees.

I used Distress Oxide Ink in Speckled Egg to apply ink around the outer edge of the Congratulations Banner. I also used the Distress Oxide Ink to color over the second sentiment "The Sky's the Limit." I think the papers and the ink color compliment each other.
I die cut the hot air balloons with a tag die. I put a bow in the tag.
I also decorated the inside of my card.
