Soar

Here's my card for this week's sketch at Page Plans. I used one of the new sets from Clear & Simple Stamps, called Diva Airlines.

I started with a white cardstock oval. I stamped the cloud images randomly in Versamark, then covered them with clear embossing powder and heat embossed them. I sponged blue ink all over the oval to create a soft-looking sky. The embossed clouds resisted the ink and remained white.

The plane was stamped on a piece of white cardstock, colored with Copic markers, then cut out. I added it to the sky stamped panel with dimensionals.

I layered the oval panel on a piece of star patterned paper from Scenic Route. I added a layered ribbon strip to the left side of the card and the sentiment, along with two chipboard stars, on the right.

Materials Used:

Diva Airlines stamp set (Clear & Simple Stamps); white cardstock (Xerox); Tuxedo Black ink (Memento); markers (Copic Ciao); petite oval and scalloped oval dies (Nestabilities); patterned paper (Scenic Route); chipboard stars, silver star brad (Making Memories); Angel Wings paint (Shimmerz); olive grosgrain ribbon (Morex); Night of Navy and Bashful Blue Classic inks, Versamark, Night of Navy and Bashful Blue cardstock, clear embossing powder, Bashful Blue grosgrain ribbon, sponge, circle punches, dimensionals (Stampin’ Up!)

I had a lot of fun using this set! Here's an interactive card I made with the same focal image. On this card, the airplane moves across the "sky" when you pull the tab on the left side of the card.

I used a piece of patterned paper that's intended to be a snowy landscape as the sky here. I think it works just fine . . . I used my word window punch to cut a channel across the patterned paper, then used dimensionals to attach the colored and cut out plane image to a white cardstock strip beneath the channel.

So that the recipient would know to pull to make the plane move, I added a circle with a little ribbon as a pull tab. The sentiment at the bottom right corner reads simply "soar."
