ShowCASe Your Style Challenge #7: Inspiration Photo

Hello and welcome to a new ShowCASe Your Style challenge!

Our theme for challenge #7 is an INSPIRATION CHALLENGE. Please use this photo from which to draw inspiration to create your CAS challenge card.  You don't have to add hot air balloons to your card - you could draw inspiration from the colours and patterns in the photo, or even use the layout, colours and patterns of one of the hot air balloons to create your card (as Becky as so cleverly done!), but please be sure to let us know in your post how you were inspired by this photo:

This challenge will run from today (Saturday, January 24th) until midnight ET on Wednesday, February 4th.

Our challenge blog is run in association with Clearly Whimsy Stamps and is sponsored by Whimsy Stamps, who are generously offering a $10 gift certificate to the randomly-selected winner of each challenge. (If the winning entry uses Clearly Whimsy Stamps products, the gift certificate will be increased to $15).

The design team will also be selecting our favorite entry from each challenge, who will be crowned "Style Queen", along with our "Style Favorites".

Here are the design team's amazing samples to delight and inspire you:
