TGIF and Happy May!
I saw the color challenge at As You Can See It this morning and designed this card in my head on the way home from work. It turned out just the way I hoped it would! 🙂
I started the stamped panel by stamping one of the images from Gorgeous Grunge stamped off once in Real Red, Daffodil Delight and Tempting Turquoise. The balloons were stamped in the same colors and then I stamped them once again and popped them up on dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and mounted on Daffodil Delight. I then popped it up with dimensionals on the stamped panel. The card base is Tempting Turquoise and the stamped panel was mounted on a piece of Real Red designer series paper from the Brights stack.
Here is a detail shot showing the dimension~
Tomorrow is National Scrapbook Day, one of my favorite holidays! I have plans to scrap on and off tomorrow…will be taking a break since the Red Sox are playing the Yankees and Mike and I like watching them together. I hope to post a few times this weekend!

So fun- love the colors and the dimension of popping up the balloons is perfect! It is always so awesome to have a card come out just as you envisioned it!

This is one of my favorite color combos, Kristie. This card is really put together very well. I like the idea of double stamping the balloons and the gorgeous grunge stamps lend the perfect touch. Very well done!
