Graduation Party! ~ HSS264, AYSI149

Hello there stampers and welcome to another Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge!  We've got a yummy color trio to inspire you this time!  They seem so summery, don't they?

I'm smack in the middle of graduation card making, so that's where my mind went.  I also used the sketch challenge from As You See It to help me along.  I figured these colors lent themselves well for party balloons and what's graduation without balloons?  Boring, I say!

We hope you'll join us for our two week color challenge!  

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Gold and Watermelon Graduation ~ HSS236

Hello stampers!  It's time again for another Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge!  We've got a cool sketch for you to try this time.  Be sure to hop over the HSS blog and check out all the other designers samples....they've really outdone themselves!

To me the circles in the sketch resembled balloons, so that's the direction I went.  Graduation is quickly approaching and I'm gonna need several cards, so I figured I just as well get a jump on it!  

Also, what could be more festive than a shaker card?  Not much, I say!  In hindsight I wish I had added more glitter and stars.  The balloon feels a bit stark to me.  It's such a gamble though.....there have been many times I added to much stuff to a shaker and the stuff inside wouldn't shake.  This time there's not enough....jeesh! 

I hope you'll join us for the challenge....remember, you've got two weeks to participate!

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!
