It has been a perfect day! I got to play tennis this morning and then I finally met my neighbor and found out she LOVES Stampin' Up! and used to be a demonstrator in Florida! I call those God moments when something so fabulous happens to you. We are so busy sometimes that we never stop to recognize the blessings all around us!
The colors for the Colour Me Color Challenge are very subtle this week. Soft Sky, Primrose Petals and Early Expresso make a beautiful soft palette. The TechnoStamper (Try Stamping On Tuesday) sketch challenge was perfect for my card today. I really like the You're Amazing Stamp Set and it is on the retired list for this year. I have never used the hot air balloons and decided it was a good time to show them some love. I created my background paper with watercolor paper and sponged Soft Sky to create the cloudy look. I hope you enjoy my card today!
