Good morning, Friends! Thank goodness it's Friday!! I can't believe that it is the last day of the month! Where did it go? We are headed out of town for a soccer tournament in Vail. I am looking forward to it! The fall colors should be gorgeous! I better remember to bring my camera! So it is time for another super fun challenge from the team at Sketch Frenzy Friday! This week's sketch is brought to us by Patrice Herrera. Take a look!
I told you it was super fun! Here is what I came up with:
I got my color scheme from the Color Coach. I really like these colors together and I wanted to use the hot air balloon set - too fun! I started with a card base of textured Not Quite Navy. The I added layers of Poppy Parade and a piece of Sahara Sand designer paper along with two strips of Poppy Parade. Then I made my tag of Not Quite Navy with a layer of Sahara Sand that was run through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder and sponged on the edges. I punched a hole and threaded a piece of Poppy Parade poly twill ribbon through and tied it off with some linen thread. The tag is popped up onto the card. I stamped the greeting from the Up, Up & Away set in Not Quite Navy onto Whisper White card stock and punched it out with the 1 3/8" circle punch. This is popped up onto the tag. Then I stamped the balloon basket in Sahara Sand, The balloon in Not Quite Navy and the strip of flags in Poppy Parade onto Whisper White and then cut them out. The pieces were put together with glue dots and then popped up onto the tag. And there you have it!!

Good morning, Friends! I hope you are having an awesome weekend! Nick's soccer game didn't turn out like we would have wanted. The rain did stop and it turned out to be a really nice afternoon! But the team just didn't quite get the job done. They go their first loss and boy were they bummed. After the game we went to the rodeo with some friends and that was a nice way to take our minds off of it. But the rain came back! Thankfully, it was only for a short time and then it cleared up and was really nice! We hadn't been to a rodeo for a few years so that was really fun! I think we are going to go watch our local college men's team play a soccer game and then Nick has baseball practice. Should be fun!
Today's card started from a sketch and then quickly took another direction. I got this set last week and wanted to do something with it. I really like these hot air balloons and it is something different for me. I took my colors from the Domestic Goddess designer paper. It is a pretty simple card! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!
