I had fun with these colors this week even though I struggled a bit. At first I just couldn't translate what was in my head to paper.
I made a modified gate fold card and have the clouds opening up. I originally had a Lemon Lolly belly band to hold it together but there was just too much yellow so I went with another row of clouds.
This was a fun but intensive card to put together. I'd like to try it again with brighter colors. This looks a bit more juvenile to me so I will give it to my great nephew for his third birthday.
I hope you will join us this week!

Gorgeous looking hot air balloons, Jeanne! Now add the pretty sunshine rays and beautiful clouds and you've got one Amazing scene. That's one thing I always loved about living in Temecula....seeing pretty hot air balloons floating by on the weekends~

I love what you did with this week's colors Jeanne- the hot air balloons are perfect for these colors. The sun rays behind the balloons are a creative touch.

I love how this turned out with the clouds as the fun fold. And the sunshine coming out from behind them makes the perfect setting for those colorful balloons!

What a wonderfully built and beautiful vibrant card Jeanne. I almost pulled this set out to work in the B challenge, but went with bees instead. My card would never had held a candle to this masterpiece!
