Birthday Balloon...FUSION Card Challenge~Sunshine on a Cloudy Day

Hello,

Welcome to FUSION Card Challenge~Sunshine on a Cloudy Day. The image is a fabulous positive reminder for those days when everything around us seems so negative. Design-wise, it's wonderfully inviting with all that open space, pop of colour, line drawings and big message. The sketch is mighty cool, too!

I had a play with my new Concord & 9th Happy Balloons stamps and dies that I had opportunity to purchase in person at a craft carnival held at Spruce Meadows, about a 50 minute drive from my place,  last Friday!  Such fun...not only shopping-wise (so much for my 'spending freeze') but opportunity to meet some of the gals who work in marketing crafting products in Alberta. One of the highlights: meeting Katia, from Studio Katia, in the flesh!  She is awesome!! Her products are awesome!  Anyway...

Photo-inspired this time: here's my sponged balloon, sporting its snazzy design, floating though the clouds bring birthday wishes. This set has fabulous patterns for the balloons; excited to give them all a play...or 10!


Please head over to see the marvelous cards designed by my wonderful design team:


Looking forward to seeing your inspired designs in the gallery!

Thank you for dropping by; your visit is both welcomed and deeply appreciated!

    How exciting to be able to go to a show and buy the goodies in person. I think those are fun. Your card is delightful. The blends on the balloon are fantastic. The texture of the embossed clouds adds a nice touch. Wonderful card! Hugs! :)

    Your balloon is a bright spot of color against that gorgeous white, yet textured background. Lovely card!
