Samantha’s Breezy Balloon Card

Samantha M has a breezy, beautiful card to share today inspired by our Challenge 21 Inspiration Board.

Samantha’s card features cute heart-shaped balloons from Hello Sunshine!

Samantha created the beautiful textured sky background using embossing paste! She tinted the paste using ink pads in blue and aqua before “smooshing” it directly onto the cardstock, lightly blending the colors!

Thank you for sharing your lovely card with us today, Samantha!

Our current Inspiration Board challenge will be open until Sunday, February 4th at 11:59PM ET. We can’t wait to see how you will be inspired!

Wendie‘s beautiful card uses Flamingo Together with Critters from the Past palm trees! The sentiment from Summertime Charm is perfect for this bright and sunny design!

Now for some inspiration from the Design Team:

Christy’s adorable Ahoy, Matey card features the most iconic of summertime destinations: a tropical island!
I love how Samantha M. combined the sentiments from a variety of sets, including Hello Sunshine, Life is Good, Love You S’more, Violets ABCs and Let’s Play to add fun text and sentiments to her adorable summer hockey scrapbook page! For some cuteness she added those sweet and smiley clouds from Plane and Simple!
Jessica‘s Mermaid for You card is so delightful! I love how she stamped the fun school of fish in a loop around the mermaid, that is so clever!
Roxanne‘s super cute card depicts a wonderful summer day spent flying kites! Yay, Kites and Little Picket Fence Border set the scene for fun!
Karin created a sweet summer card using Mermaid for You, So Jelly and Life is Good! I love how she framed this cute scene with the oval from Magic Color Slider!
Samantha C gathered some of her favorite woodland critters for a fun summertime BBQ! Jump for Joy, Party Animal, Stinkin’ Cute and Let’s BBQ star in this happy little  scene!
For Nancy, summer means the beach! She colored the Louie’s ABCs letters in beach-y colors with Copic markers, then added a Spring Showers sun and Smitty’s ABCs sentiment.

Join us here tomorrow for our Challenge 7 Featured Fawnatics and our Random Winner!
