FYI Challenge #6

Happy Thursday everyone!  Today it's time for the next For Your Inspiration challenge.  I've recently been asked to join the DT for this new challenge blog!!  I'm so thrilled to be a part of such a wonderful group of stampers.  Keva Brown and Debby Hughes are new to the DT too.

Here is the photo inspiration for this week.  Please join us in creating a project based on this photo.  You have until June 1st to play!

Here's my card:

Once again I went with a literal interpretation of the photo.  These inspiration challenges are a real stretch for me -- guess that's why they are called challenges, huh?

I started with a Blueberry Sky base and embossed two clouds using my cloud dies from Up, Up & Away.  Then I stamped inside them (and around the base) with fresh snow ink.  The balloons are cut from a sheet of pp from the Polka Dot Parade collection and colored with Copics.  For the red balloon, after coloring I stamped it again in white ink with the solid balloon stamp from the same set.
This will be another card for my sweet friend who is undergoing an intensive cancer treatment right now.
