The Tag-along (and ATCs) August Challenge ends tomorrow, so I've made a tag to enter before the challenge closes. The theme this Month is 'Travel'.
The tag shape was made with a Stampin' Up tag punch and I corner rounded the bottom corners . I made a mask for the stencilling using dies from a new Spellbinders 'Color Block Cloudscape' set and used an Adirondack 'Sail Boat Blue' ink pad for the stencilling. I used the tag punch again with a snippets of white card to add a top to the tag, colouring it first with the ink I'd used on the cloud stencilling. The balloon is a Memory Box 'Hot Air Balloon' die cut, it's a small version of the one I used HERE. To finish of my card I used white Ric Rac instead of ribbon or twine, as it seemed to match the shape of the clouds.
I am joining in the following challenges:

This tag is such a joyful celebration of travel! The cloud stencilling creates a dreamy sky that perfectly sets the scene, and the hot air balloon adds a playful sense of adventure. I love the choice of ric rac—it echoes the cloud shapes so cleverly and adds a fun, tactile twist. A beautifully balanced design with thoughtful details throughout.
