Dare 2B Artzy Day

Oh boy!  I found some fun challenges to play in with my D2BA images!

Inkspirational #60 had the perfect photo, and Retro #122 had a great sketch!

I used Dare 2B Artzy, Hot Air Balloon. Perfect with the photo, right? I think it worked pretty well with the sketch too.:)  I water colored the yellow balloon, [not sure I like it. The photo makes it look badly colored to me... :(.]

I was also inspired by the colors from Color Throwdown #300 with the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #144.


For this card I used D2BA, Key To My Heart.


You really should pop on over and check out Dare 2B Artzy stamps. Cindy has some super fun sets!


Thanks for stopping by~

Gorgeous cards, Vicki! Love the hot air balloon one! The stenciled top is really gorgeous and you are right, the inspiration photo doesn't get better!~

Oh, I love how you have interpreted the RS#122 and combined it with the inspiration photo!!! Those hot air balloons are so cute and the yellow one looks fine to me!!! Love your sentiment!!
And your second just shows again that you can do all kinds of cards ...from CAS to mixed media to layered ones and whatever styles there might be!! This is to me a CAS beauty - I love the key and lock and your colours are so delish!!! Love it!!!

Have a super weekend!!
Greetings from a very, very cold George!!!
