For my card today, I used the Up Up and Away Sentiment set... I love so many of the different sayings in this set, and thought they would make great cards even without using the main hot air balloon stamp set! :)

To create my card, I used a large mosaic heart stencil and blended aqua/turquoise inks on a white card base.  I then covered the blended stencil shape with stickles.  Next, I stamped the sentiment from Up Up and Away Sentiments in versamark ink onto light gray CS before heat embossing with white powder.  The end of the gray CS strip was trimmed into a banner shape and adhered to the card front.  To finish up, I embellished with red enamel dots.
