With You, I can soar

Hello, everyone! This evening I'd like to share a layout that I've done using the current sketch at A2Z Scraplets. Here's the sketch:
And this is my layout:


Instead of the banner across the top I cut out hot air balloons from an overlay.
 I used four sheets of the Huntington Garden Collection by Ridderholmdesign. I'm also entering it in Frosted Designs Day 4 of the 12 twelve days of Christmas; the requirement is to use 4 different papers.
I applied a rough coating of gesso to my chipboard, then used three different inks to give it a mottled kind of look. The bricks I made by cutting brick shapes from a piece of chipboard, painted with gesso, then inked the edges lightly.


I stamped on the background with gesso and a stamp that reminded me of the chipboard for a subtle texture.




Thanks so much for coming by! I really appreciate your time and comments! Hope you have a wonderful evening!
