For Your Inspiration #6





It's time for another For Your Inspiration challenge! Join us and show us how this photo, filled with every color of the rainbow, inspires you! We have 3 new designers on our team and you'll want to see what Keva, Sara & Debby have created! Welcome, ladies...your talent is amazing!
There is blog candy being offered with this challenge - thanks to our Lovely Lotus DT member, Valerie!
I interpreted it very literally this time and paper-pieced a Verve balloon image. I cut out a couple of clouds from the DP and popped them on foam dots to add dimension. This is really fun paper from Echo Park's Summer Days pad. I added a MFT Die-namic border in yellow and accented it with a hand-crocheted flower, brad and die cut leaves with sentiment tag. The layout is for Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge - a great elongated version for a card!

STAMPS: Up, Up & Away (Verve), Faithful Phrases (Verve)

There are several shut-ins in our church who could use a cheerful greeting, so this will go out to one of these fine ladies! I'm trying to send out more of my cards rather than let them accumulate in my stamp room. Have a great day!

    Beautiful card Wanda! This will certainly add some sunshine to someone's day. The victorian lace border and crocheted flower add great detail. I'm so excited to be part of this amazing group!
