Here's what I created to play along with this hop today: 

The theme of our hop is to create inspirational and uplifting cards so today I used two of our new stamp sets to create this adorable card! The girl holding the balloons is from out new Holding Happiness Stamp Set. I stamped her onto watercolor paper with waterproof ink and colored her using Zig Clean Color watercolor brush markers. I though the bright colors were so fun and cheerful so I left her dress a simple black so that they would stand out. I also used the "You lift me up" sentiment from our new Uplifting Wishes Stamp Set for the sentiment, embossing it in white on black cardstock. 

For the card base I created a scene using the for the girl. I started by stenciling clouds from our Cloudy Sky Stencil and then added two hills cut out with our Land Borders Die Set. I assembled it all together and added some black and white polka dot washi tape up the side! 

I hope you enjoyed this project today! Make sure to visit our Design Team blogs (listed below) to see more uplifting inspiration and support our Stamping for Autism Awareness blog hop!
