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.

I love how you created a window with your cloud paper behind it! Perfect card for a 19 year old....love those colors together!
I really like this card, very peaceful and inspiring. My layout for next week is very similar.
What 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.
Super jolie, biz
I love this!!!!! What a beautiful card this is and perfectly CAS. Love how your creative mind worked to achieve this design, Heather!!!! I absolutely love it!
Great window card! I just love how you used the hot air balloons here. This card is perfectly done for our challenge. Thank you for playing with us at Hand Stamped Sentiments and hope you can join us again soon.
Great card - super creative using the sketch too. The Balloons and clouds are a great way to highlight the sentiment.
Very pretty card. My brother got married years ago in a hot air balloon (no way I say) and I always think of them when I see hot air balloons. Your card is so pretty and love the sentiment and colors. thanks for sharing over at Aud Sentiments.
