This is my sample for CC693. Jeanne is our hostess and she has chosen so saffron, Bermuda bay and flirty flamingo for her color trio. Dessert Option this week is balloons.
I needed a graduation card and I wanted something a bit less traditional. I thought this hot air balloon fit that criteria. So I created a little outdoor scene.
Balloon die is from CottageCutz and I used the challenge colors to cut the pieces. The sentiment is an older set from Waltzingmouse that had just the right sentiments for my card. The background paper is from an older Stampin'-Up Paper Pumpkin kit. It was a Bermuda bay card base and I cut it to use as dp.
Scattered some Bermuda bay sequins to finish off my card. Hope you can play along with us this week. Jeanne has chosen some bright colors and this is also her maiden voyage as a color challenge hostess.

This is so cute Mary! Great die cut scene with the sun, clouds and of course the cute bunny riding in the hot air balloon, plus the perfect sentiments for a graduation card!

Mary, what a clever twist on "balloons." A hot air balloon! How fun! I love the Cottage Cutz dies you used--such a cute little bunny going for a ride, flying!
