Since I tend to make lots of hot air balloon pictures, I use lots of sky.
Normally I just do a wash to make sky, but now I can do more.  Thank you for pushing us to learn more.

I thought this was a hard challenge!  I am not so good at these cloud backgrounds. I tried the Mind of Watercolor vesion.

Here is my backgrounds and here is my Completed card.


Thank you for the great challenge!

I did it!  I finished this challenge.  It was a lot of fun.

Here are the backgrounds.

Here is my card.

For my card, I ended up turning some of my sky into a beach.  I used Prismacolor pencils to accent the image, and the Goldenrod pencil was a good match for the color that was already watercolored so I used it to add a bit of definition so it wouldn't look like the palm tree was floating around in the sky.

Thank you for the challenge.

I made 4 skies and made cards with 2 of them.  I combed one with the Bingo Twist challenge because I thought it looked like a summer sky.  The second one I combined with Fun with Paper.

Aww Yankee  :smitten:.  Thank you!  I'm glad you'll be able to use what you learned!  I love your hot air balloon card!

I am so impressed with all of the entries!

Thanks so much for making multiple skies.  I know it was a lot of work ... I hope you'll get a chance to use your extras.  They look wonderful in your finished cards!

It was April's name that I picked with my eyes closed, out of the berry bowl!

Congratulations April!
