OCC Challenge - Summer Inspiration

Hi!  Welcome to another challenge from Our Creative Corner.  This week we are letting SUMMER inspire us.  Pull out your summer stamps, paper, and embellies and make a card!

For my card I used some paper from the Sunshine Lollipops collection by Sassafrass.  Can't get more summery with a name like that!  I paired that paper with some hot air balloon images from the Papertrey Ink stamp set Everyday Button Bits.

My "sun" is sponged around the edges with an orange-y ink to make it pop off the page more.  The hot air balloons are stamped on white card stock.  I used a stampin' sponge to add some light blue to the background and edges.  The layer it is matted on is actually some light blue patterned paper.

I hope you'll all head on over to Our Creative Corner and see all the summery cards the design team created. I know you won't be disappointed.

Have a great weekend!  Thanks so very much for stopping by for a visit today!!!
