| INSPIRATION PHOTO FOR JUNE |
Besides being Father's Day for some of us, today is the Waltzingmouse June Blog Party--held on the 17th of each month! I wanted to use the balloon from the Half Pint Heroines set so I chose colors from the inspiration photo! I started with a medium aqua color that I had in my stash. The patterned papers are from a single sheet that had a combo of patterns from Scenic Route. The basket is done in Smoky Shadows. It turned out to be a little tedious to do since I cut out each piece and then used from twine that I twisted very tightly to mimic the braid. For the card base I used a piece of Summer Sunset printed with a free digital pattern called Gauze that I got ages ago from Gina K. There are lots of fun sentiments in the set but I decided on "don't forget to have fun" just so the card will fit a variety of occasions.
Be sure to click HERE so you can visit all the other blogs. There is always lots of inspiration and if you want to submit an entry, the party will be going on for 24 hours so there's plenty of time!
Thanks for dropping by! Enjoy the hop!
SMILES,
Sharron
