Dreams take flight

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:
 I was in need of a masculine birthday card to send one of the men at our church (late, of course, as always, but it's the thought that counts, right?).  Since I had my bits and pieces stash spread out on my desk, it's easy to see what I have in there, and I had this little rectangle of cloudy sky left over from a previous project.  As soon as I saw it, I remembered a sketch I had seen, and started thinking it would be perfect to use with Repeat Impressions hot air balloons.  And this is why I am so bad about throwing little bits away--it might be perfect for another project sometime!  Here is close up of the balloons and the stenciled sky:
Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you will hop over to the House blog to see the rest of the DT's creations and then get inky and play along with us.  And if you need any of the stamps I used, check out my 10% off your ENTIRE order coupon code over in my left sidebar.

Beautiful card, fabulous design and like the bright, cheery colors, perfect for a masculine birthday! I need to start a stash basket, I have a container of die cuts(rarely do I go to it) but your idea would be useful!
