Happy Wednesday!! It's time for another challenge from
The House That Stamps Built and this week it is a fan favorite: Anything Goes!! And here is the card I created for your inspiration:
The inspiration for this card started with the oval of cloud paper that I found the other day while looking through some patterned papers. I thought it would be perfect for a CAS card with these hot air balloons. There is a young man at our church turning 19 this week, so I turned this into a birthday card for him. I thought the "Dreams" sentiment was perfect as at 19 you have lots of dreams for the future. The cloud paper is actually adhered inside the card and I created a window, complete with frame and acetate so it could be seen on the outside as part of the scene. And the sentiment is stamped inside on the cloud panel. I thought this was a fun touch.

ReplyDeleteI really like this card, very peaceful and inspiring. My layout for next week is very similar.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun birthday card for a 19 year old. Oh and how many times will his dreams change over the years. Love the acetate window you created and the hot air balloons are colored so pretty. The cloud paper worked perfect.
