My friends other half runs a Hot Air Balloon company and in one of our previous houses we were surrounded by fields - it was perfectly normal for him to be flying over the field next door very low - and on two occasions landing in it! Cue one very irritated farmer!
(Have just read that back and it sounds like we move every five minutes - the house I am talking about we were in for almost 30 years!)
I saw something similar to this some time back on Pinterest and with a birthday looming for my friends hubby it was the perfect opportunity to use the set.
I wanted a sunset sky but think I might have overdone it cos it actually looks like the forest below is on fire..............🙈🔥🔥
Regulars to my blog will know how much I like ink blending!
Used Crackling Campfire (how apt!), Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade, Barn Door and Black Soot for my background.
The trees are one of my most used stamp sets - they're from Inkylicious and I love them.
Simply stamped in black Versafine Clair in the foreground and then used Versafine Crimson Red for my second and third generation stamping.

The soaring balloons are very apt for your friend's card. Love it
I love it, your inking has created such great atmosphere, it's beautiful xx
Beautiful blending, Viv, and such a cool scene! Maybe a little forest-firey, but still stunning - sunsets here in Arizona look like this for sure! Thanks so much for playing at Make My Monday!

What a perfect card for someone who runs a Hot Air Balloon company! The blending is just beautiful on the background. It's just a brilliant sunset that you captured.
Considering where I live and the wildfires our province has experienced your card is kind of appropriate for the conditions. Spectacular background and beautifully done. Thanks for joining us at MMM, Johanna DT
And you are the queen of ink blending, Viv! That is an amazing fiery sunset sky, just perfect for the hot air balloon birthday card for your friend! It would be cool to take a sunset ride over a forest like that, a glass of bubbly to hand! Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnll
What a brilliant backgound, Viv! Your blending skills are enviable! I always thought it would be fun to ride in one of these balloons.
Especially now, when the sun is significantly lower, the sky can look like this. And I love such color spectacles and I love your card, simply stunningly beautiful!!!
Great ink blending and lovely stamping. Perfect card for your friend xxx
Beautiful card Viv, love the colours...

What a gorgeous background! Your ink blending is fabulous, and I can't imagine getting up in a hot air balloon, but this looks enticing. Thanks for playing with us at Make My Monday Challenge! I hope to see you in the gallery again soon. Sue - DT
