DRS Challenge #224 It's A New Day

Good morning!

Time for a new challenge.
Our challenge today is to make a card and use the word "DAY" in it.
It's as simple as that!

DRS stamps: Hot air Balloon 583F and Enjoy Today 1145C

I made my background with what I call a dip and drag method.  I spray some inks (I mostly use Dylusions) onto a piece of foil or a kraft sheet, spray with plenty of water (the inks are very intense) and then dip my cardstock panel into it and drag it off.  If I don't get full coverage just dip it again.  The ink is so watery that it flows and mixes together creating a pretty background and different every time.

I then stamped and colored 3 balloons and cut them out to use on my sunrise/sunset sky. I stamped the sentiment with the word "day" in it with VersaFine ink because it is so nice and black (VersaFine is pigment so you have to be careful not to use it on glossy unless you will emboss it).  Each balloon is at a different height using layers of foam tape.  I used a cloud die on vellum for a bit of extra interest.

The last thing I did was to add black stitching all the way around my decorated panel and mount it to a folded white card.
