Enjoy The Journey ~ July ATC Swap

This is my last set of ATC's for Marci's July swap. Theme is "Travel."

I've had this balloon stamp forever - I got it with a SteamPunk set back in 2011 when Tim was doing the 12 tags of Christmas. I didn't know diddly-squat about stamps back then, so these are just the rubber ones, no foam back, no block, no nothing but rubber, but I've figured out how to make them work with my acrylic block and some Alene's Tack It Over And Over Again.

Basically, I layered the balloon by stamping it twice, coloring the bottom one with Rusty Hinge DI and the top one with Faded Jeans. Did a little fussy cutting on the blue one to show the rust one underneath, popped it up and then glued on the embroidery thread lines and little beads for the sand weights.

The compass came in the same set as the balloon, but I had to cut down a clock hand to get a piece small enough to work for the dial. The background was part of the same stamp set. I'm not sure where I got them, it's been so long ago...

ETA ~ the stamp set came from a company called "Oxford Impressions."
Here's a link to a site that sells the stamp set that I have.
