Hot Air Balloon Stained Glass

Hello and welcome back!  The days are flying by and this post signals the end of day four of the blog launch.  We are not quite halfway through yet so no worries!  This final post is to showcase the Hot Air Balloon Stained Glass die.  It just works for so many occasions as it can be seen as a sort of metaphor for retirement, travel and holiday plans, birthdays or just because someone needs a pick me up card! LOL  Again, this stained glass will look lovely with pixie powders, gilding flakes, distress inks or glitters!  there are so many ways you can experiment with your Cosmic Shimmer products and use this die set.  Just a little reminder to leave your comment on this post and don't forget to make sure that your name stands out from everyone else leaving comments on the blog.  Add an alias or an surname initial or city where you are from, just something to distinguish your comment from anyone else with a similar name.  I only have a single set of each of the dies to give away.  All for now, Sue x

    no matter what you use to create the stained glass effect, seems to look like a scene or a real window.

  18. Hi Sue, I would love to go "up, up and away in your beautiful balloon" but I don't think they would be allowed to take off here today as it is so windy. Love the card and the die and a great ending to day 4. Watching Phill demo your dies on Hochanda and he has some gorgeous samples.

  19. Could make good use of this die, but the sail boat stained glass will have to take preference.i like the way you have featured the sunset/sunrise on the die as this is when most rides take place. Brings back memories of over 25 years ago when I went up in a hot air balloon! Thank you Sue. A lovely end to the day.

  37. Evening Sue and all Wilsonettes, I can honestly say that I didn't think you could better the yacht die but I think this just edged it slightly, I love it, the combination of colours and materials that you can use just on the actual balloon is mind blowing without the other areas to consider.

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs June Smith xxx

  74. Hi Sue. WOW !!! A wonderful card using a truly GORGEOUS die !!! I love your Hot Air Balloon die just as much as the Sailing Boat die !!! I really don't think I could choose between them so I will just have to put them both on my huge wish list. I love the card you have made. I think I am a bit biased about this one because I love using my polished silk glitters on cards. (Especially with the stained glass dies of yours that I already have .) I think the Glitters produce such lovey professional looking results. Thank you. Sending lots of love to you Sue from
