Yay! It is time for the June Inspiration Challenge at Paper Sweeties! We have a wonderful theme of "Party Time" this month:
Isn't that photo wonderful! The pinwheels and banner and bright colors! A wonderful party atmosphere!!!
For my card I wanted to create some balloons. I started playing around with some of the "heart" shaped tags from the "Stitched Tags #1" Sweet Cuts set. I had cut a bunch of them for a previous project out of some gingham papers and wanted to try to use them. Here is what I came up with:
Gingham balloons anyone? I think they turned out so cute! To make the strings for the balloons I used a "robin egg" colored straw cut into thin pieces. I attached the "strings" to the back of the balloons with scotch tape and then gathered all three pieces with a cookie dough seam binding bow. The sentiment "Happy Birthday" is from the "Hello Friend" stamp set. A simple but sweet card I think!
There is tons of wonderful inspiration to see from the Paper Sweeties Creative Design Team:
Thanks for taking a look at my card. It is back to bed for me as I am fighting a horrible case of bronchitis and barely got this card made and posted.....
Blessings and Hugs,
Jill
