Celebrate Real Nice

It is Thursday and time for a new Pals Paper Arts Challenge.  This week we have a super fun sketch challenge by the talented Kerry Willard Bray.  

I decided to feature on of the large stamp images from the Balloon Bash stamp set.  The sketch is clean and simple and I paired that up with a crisp color combination.

Gleeson-PPA244
 The color combination is Whisper White, Night of Navy and Crushed Curry and oh so crisp in my opinion.  The card is oversized 6" x 4" and the panels are 6" x 2 1.2" and 6" x 2 1/8".  I typically don't fussy cut however I could not find a framelit I was happy with to create the look I wanted.  I did pop it up on Stamping Dimensionals to add to the card.

I felt the card seemed top heavy so I added three Rhinestones to the bottom.  The center rhinestone is larger than the other two.  I think they added the perfect balance I was seeking.

I added some pizzazz to the inside of the card as well.  I just love the fun water squirt images (I don't know what else to call them) on these stamps.

I hope you will play along with the Pals this week.  Here is the sketch:
