Krafty Chicks challenge #825 - CAS

Good morning lovely friends and welcome to my little corner of blogland. It's time for a new challenge over at Krafty Chicks challenge and this week we are on Week 3; and as always the theme is 'CAS (clean and simple)' and Diane is our hostess. Now we know that CAS is subjective but generally it's lots of open space (doesn't have to be white), no embellishments (or very few) and an uncluttered design. It can be a difficult design to pull off but we hope you will take on the challenge and come over and join in the fun with us.

I recently got this fun stamp set from Uniko and thought I would show it some love before I put it away.  I'm trying to do this more often as usually I get new products, organise them and put them away and then completely forget about them - please tell me I'm not the only one that does this!  I think it turned out super cute and I hope you like it too. 

Here is my card:

A closer look at the image:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by cutting a white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and ink blending all over with a light blue/teal ink pad.  I added some white spatter and also some spatter using the ink pad.  I stamped the images onto alcohol marker friendly card, coloured them with Promarkers and fussy cut them out.  I stamped the sentiments directly onto the background with black ink and added the panel onto the card base with double sided tape.  I adhered the clouds with liquid glue and the hot air balloon with foam squares (so a tiny bit of dimension but not too bad for me lol!).  For the inside I cut another white panel and ink blended along the bottom, again adding spatters.  I stamped, coloured and fussy cut one more cloud and added that to the bottom right corner with liquid glue.  I stamped the sentiment in the centre with black ink and adhered the panel to the card base with double sided tape.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
