Happy Friday and happy last day of school....lots of free time is in store and I am so excited! I came home and decided to play along on a couple of challenges. I had to make a second card for this week's ColourQ #192, the colors this week are amazing! My card design was inspired by the wonderful guest designer for this week's CAS(e) this Sketch #31 challenge, Tracey McNeely! Not only is she an amazing paper crafter, she is very funny (don't ask her about the rooster) and so sweet. Thank you so much for taking time to stop by to peek at my card....have a wonderful weekend!

Love this one of yours tons. And yep, the house next door is for sale! If you bought it, we could play all day long! Woohoo! Bev
ReplyDeleteLove your card, Kim and Tracey's! Both are great!
ReplyDeleteKim it is 8:00 is the morning and I am laughing my head off, you are the funny one. Love love love your take on the sketch, the balloons are fantastic. Ii really like how they look like they are floating off the page and the pinked edge grass is brilliant. Thank you for sharing with us this week at CAS(E) this Sketch!
ReplyDelete...and thank you for joining us at the colourQ again too. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy, fun card! I love your use of black with the colors, it's bold.
ReplyDeleteYour polka dot balloons look fabulous with the black strings. Your "pinked" edging adds the perfect finishing touch between your sentiment and border. Great job, Kim!
ReplyDeleteHere is another card that I love so much I want to marry it. I may have to divorce the card I fell in love with last month in order to marry this one. Everything is just perfect. I love those balloons in those colors and those dots. And, I completely forgot about that awesome text border. Yikes--how could I have done that?
ReplyDeleteWhat a FUN birthday card - lovely how you perfectly combined those challenges. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving such nice comments - you made my day! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards Kim - love both those die cuts...hmmm the may have to just fall into my shopping basket...
ReplyDeleteOoh Kim, this is so much FUN ... I love those polka dot balloons bobbing about on the end of their black strings, with just the one making a bid for freedom over the edge! Awesome! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteI love your case of Tracey's great card...the balloons and that really great sentiment look perfect together...the color against the black and white of the sentiment. Great choice.
ReplyDeleteLove! Those balloons are awesome!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I just love those polka dot balloons!
ReplyDeleteFun cards, Kim, I love the balloons and the way you used the colors! thanks for playing with us at the colourQ.
