I was in need of a masculine birthday card to send one of the men at our church (late, of course, as always, but it's the thought that counts, right?). Since I had my bits and pieces stash spread out on my desk, it's easy to see what I have in there, and I had this little rectangle of cloudy sky left over from a previous project. As soon as I saw it, I remembered a sketch I had seen, and started thinking it would be perfect to use with Repeat Impressions hot air balloons. And this is why I am so bad about throwing little bits away--it might be perfect for another project sometime! Here is close up of the balloons and the stenciled sky:
