Hello friends,
A new challenge starts today at Double D Challenges. Team Darlene is hosting this challenge with the theme “Signs of Summer”. There are lots of wonderful “signs” in the inspiration photo to inspire your card for the new challenge. The
team also created beautiful cards to showcase summer – a visit to the Double D Challenge blog will be worthwhile.
I was inspired by the balloons and clear sky in the bottom right photo. I used an adorable teddy bear image hanging onto balloons for my focal point. I stamped the image and colour it with my watercolour pencils. The image was then layered on gingham designer paper. I die-cut several puffy clouds and adhere the clouds and some of the balloons with mirror tape for dimension. I then add some glitter to the balloons for a shiny effect. I finish off with a stamped sentiment and three glitter hearts. There is not much detail on the card as I wanted to create a feeling of drifting away in the open sky on a summer day.
I entered my card in the following challenges:
- My Time to Craft Challenge #459 (ends 06/24) – Things In The Sky
- Penny Black Saturday Challenge #PBSC June (ends 07/02) – Anything Goes
- Colour Crazy Challenge Week 23 (ends 06/18) – Anything Colouring Goes

So sweet. Just in time for some lovely inspiration as I have to make a baby boy card. This will work just as well for such an occasion.

This is so stinkin’ adorable. I love the dimension on the clouds, really makes the whole card pop. And of course that little bear just couldn’t be any cuter. Great take on the Mood Board, super sweet.
