Stamp with Acrylic Paint Hot Air Balloon Scrapbook Layout

Created this Hot Air Balloon scrapbook layout
because I like to watch & photograph Hot Air Balloons.
Photographed the Hot Air Balloon in this photo using
my 300mm lens while laying down on my back on the
ground (on a blanket of course).

Challenge at {capture the moment} was to stamp
with acrylic paint using a PaperTrey Ink stamp. At first I
thought the acrylic paint would damage the stamps so I
tried the technique with a $1 stamp I had bought at JoAnns
or Michaels that I was not too worried about. After seeing
that the acrylic paint washed off the stamp I tried using a
PTI stamp and after a couple of tries I got the acrylic paint
technique to work.

I used one of the hot air balloons from the
Up, Up & Away set.
Stamped 2 of the Hot Air Balloons on white cardstock &
then cut them out.

For those not knowing what an ATC is: it is a
piece of artwork that measures 2 1/2" x 3 1/2"
using sturdy material for base, embellished
in many ways and are often traded.

Simple enough to make using the Martha Stewart
corner punch & edge punch. The 2 large Maple
leaves & 4 smaller Maple leaves punched out
are used.
