This is my 1st sample for CC848. I am your hostess and I chose gold, blackberry bliss and calypso coral for the color trio. Dessert Option this week is die cuts.
This card is using elements from the July 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit "summer nights". This kit was all about summertime with a Ferris wheel, lightning bugs and summer lanterns. Everything you need to made cards are included in these monthly kits.
I made the card according to the kit directions except I angled the vellum jar to make it look like the "lightning bugs" or "fire flies" are flying out of the jar.
I had to explain this to my hubby because he didn't understand why the jar was tilted. I thought it was a good idea - maybe not?
My 'wishes have wings" sentiment is from a Great Impressions stamp. I want this for a birthday card and that sentiment will be stamped on the inside.
Hope you can play along with us this week. I would love to see what you create with these colors.

Great sentiment for your open and 'tilted' jar of lighting bugs! I got your tilted jar right off! Very cute card and a great idea for this week's colors!

Fun card and I knew immediately that the fireflies were happily escaping your cute vellum jar. Love it.

What a clever idea, to show the fireflies gaining their freedom! And you've added a perfect greeting to go with the image! We don't have them in the Pacific Northwest, but I remember how enchanted my children were with them when we lived on the east coast,
