I used a  'new' Wplus9 Going Places Clear Stamp set and I am heading for 'New Horizons' ;-)


I made this while thinking about Sean and Amy, they  have both flown the nest and are making new lives for themselves in far away countries. On the one hand I am sad to see them go, on the other I am so proud of them and their achievements and I know that they will both do well. 

I stamped the image and then created a cloudy sky using a cloud mask a copic B41 and a Copic Air Brush. I paper pieced the balloon and the basket and coloured the little bear in with copic markers E30, E31, E34 R20. 

The little bear needed to be waving at something, so I used a little  Cat from memory Box, having 7 cats myself I thought it worked quite well :-)


So now it's YOUR turn, Happy Crafting
