To begin I cut a piece of ivory cardstock to 4 1/4 by 3 1/2 inches, then sponged with Memento Cantaloupe ink.
Then I sponged Memento Desert Sand ink.
Sponged Memento Rich Cocoa.
Sponged Memento Potter's Clay.
I stamped the tree with Memento Espresso Truffle ink.
I began coloring the tree trunk with my E57 Copic marker.
Filled in the trunk with E53.
For the foliage, I started with YG95.
Added YG93.
Filled in with YG91.
I added some shading under the tree with W3.
I inked the clouds with Memento Espresso Truffl and stamped off once on scratch paper before stamping on my background.
Added some shading to the clouds with W3.
Then a little W1.
Then I stamped the sentiment with Memento Espresso Truffle.
For the larger hot air balloon. I stamped with Memento Espresso Truffle, then began coloring with YR14.
Added YR12, then used my blender pen to smooth in some highlights.
Added E35 to the other stripes.
Then blended in with E53.
For the horizontal bands, I used E59 and then my blender pen to smooth in some highlights.
For the smaller hot air balloon. I started with E97.
Then filled in with E95. After coloring, I cut out both hot air balloons and adhered to the background with 3D foam squares.
My card base is Pure Luxury Dark Chocolate (4 ¼ by 5 ½ inches).
Thanks for visiting. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Another lovely scene! Great card.
what a lovely technique
The seamless blending of colours in the background is just beautiful.
THANK YOU- for the step by step tutorial. It is incredibly encouraging for beginners like myself. Copics are expensive and scary to the inexperienced, and I have been getting one here and one there and with these sorts of tutorials it really encourages me (: Thank you!
wonderful new set and gorgeous card, too.
I am just amazed at how easily you manage to make your tutorials. They are so great to follow
It is very interesting and very pretty how you have used the colors with this card. Such a fun
stampset!
Oh my goodness this card is fantastic...and your set is SO MUCH FUN!
Great stamps! Great card!

This card is gorgeous. I love the tree stamp, and your colouring is great. Take care.
That is such a fun card. Thanks for the step-by-step instructions!
I really love the hot air balloons and the tutorials. Thank you so much. I try to imitate the Copic coloring with Marvy and other coloring tools because I can't afford all the Copic colors and still get pretty good results. Your artistry is beautiful!!!
Your attention to detail paid off in spades. Your card is absolutely beautiful!
Being a newbie to blog-hopping, this step by step was great...loved the tree and the clouds
Theresa, I am always so impressed by your stamp sets and your tutorials. I love the Up, Up, and Away set. It can be used for so many occasions.
I love the balloons and the clouds and the sentiment! All wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing your process! Maybe I can learn how to color yet!
Your tutorials are always so enjoyable and informative! Really helped to see how you did the clouds on this one.
Wow, love those clouds!
I love this card! All that shading really adds depth and texture.
Great cards. Thanks for the tips!
The coloring is fabulous on the card.
Gorgeous coloring Theresa, love your card!! Thanks for the inspiration.
