Hang in there

Hang in There – A Bright and Uplifting Card!

Sometimes a little encouragement can make all the difference, and today’s card is all about lifting someone’s spirits—literally and figuratively!

For this design, I chose a rainbow-striped background to bring an instant pop of Colour and positivity. The playful diagonal lines add a sense of motion, perfectly complementing the two hot air balloons floating among fluffy white clouds. I love how the pink and purple tones of the balloons balance the rainbow background without overpowering it.

The sentiment “Hang in There” feels especially fitting—it’s simple, heartfelt, and pairs so nicely with the uplifting imagery.

A few sparkling embellishments add just the right touch of shine, giving the card a breezy, happy finish.

 Card Details:

• Background: Rainbow-striped patterned paper

• Balloons: Stamped and die-cut in shades of pink, purple, and white

• Clouds: Layered die cuts for dimension

• Sentiment: Black ink on white cardstock with a bold border for emphasis

• Finishing Touches: Clear sequins for a bit of sparkle

This card would be perfect to send to a friend who’s going through a tough time or just needs a little reminder that brighter days are ahead. 

I made this card for the challenge over at The Paper Players using up some of my old stash.

My moto this year is “use what you have” to try and clean out my craft room. Here is the sketch.
