Happy Wednesday!! As this post goes live, I am camping (well, I'm in a cabin) with my family in upstate New York. Yeay for vacation but not a lot of access to the internet, yikes! Anyway, it's time for another challenge from The House That Stamps Built. And this week we have an easy one for you: Anything Goes!
I created this fun card for the birthday of a family friend turning 17. I just gave it to him, and he just wanted to sit there and spin the balloon around. : ) I think it was a hit! The circle was cut out of the front panel (which was sponged for a sky look) and the largest hot air balloon is suspended in the middle with some jewelry beading wire. The smaller balloons are stamped on the inside and I sponged a sky background in there as well.
And this photo shows the inside:
And here is what it looks like lying flat:
Supplies:
Stamps: Repeat Impressions "Hot Air Balloon", "Hot Air Balloon Cluster", "Dreams Take Flight" and "Birthday" inside sentiment

Beautiful card, and love the spinning! Great job!
Oh my gosh, this is stunning Heather, the deep colors and highlights on the balloon are amazing and a spinner on top of that! Sounds like a fabulous vacation, enjoy!
Nice! Your clouds are amazing!
You have created an incredible amount of dimension on these balloons with your colouring and the white gel pen highlights! Thanks so much for joining us at SugarPea!
Oh wow, what a fabulous card. I love your idea of the window card and the spinning hot air balloon. Beautifully coloured. And the sponged background is terrific.
Thanks for coming over to play with us at the Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge.
