Thanks for the Lift

Here’s my card for this week’s Paper Smooches SPARKS anything goes challenge. I used the Sunny Side Up set along with the current sketch from Retro Sketches to put this one together.

I used two different patterned papers from a Pebbles paper pad for the panels on the golden yellow cardfront. The floral paper and a coordinating teal cardstock strip were adhered first, then topped with a scrap of red textured cardstock that’s been floating around on my table for way too long. The blue dotted panel on top serves as a nice sky-like background for the kite image. I added a twine string to the kite before adhering it to the panel with foam tape.  A teeny tiny glue dot holds the looped string securely in place.

A white felt cloud, cut with the cloud from the Spectrum Icons die set and tucked underneath the kite, fills out the panel. The “thanks for the lift” sentiment was stamped at the bottom of the panel in black ink. I added a few teal enamel dots around the panel as an accent.
