Dies R Us Challenge Time

Hello All...

YEP!  It's time once again for a new challenge

at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog.

And, the theme is:

  SUMMERTIME

 The possibilities are endless when creating a card

using this as the theme!

However, one thing came to mind for me today and that is seeing

the hot air balloon in the sky ... not something you see every day!  LOL

But beautiful when you do!!

Here are the dies I've used today:

Serendipity by Impression Obsession - Hot Air Balloons

Sue Wilson Sentiments - Have a Nice Day

After die cutting my balloon panel, I then took a piece of white card stock

the same size and added some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks.

I actually just sponged on what was left on my various colored sponges

that I use for my oxide inks.  

Then glued the white panel atop my inked background panel.

I thought this pretty floral paper from a 6x6 Prima paper pad

called 'Hello Pastel' would make a nice backdrop since the colors all seemed 'right'!   

A scrap of pink card stock (from the scrap box) was used

as a partial matting and then after going 'in search of' a sentiment

to be used, I found this die by Sue Wilson that I thought would be PERFECT!

I do hope you'll come join in this fun challenge and

if you need more inspiration ... be sure to pop over and see what 

our design team has created for you!

Hope to see you there!

Thanks for stopping by ...
As always ...
