It's time for Papertrey Ink's December blog hop. As is the tradition, the theme for this blog hop is "holiday leftovers," meaning reusing or repurposing bits and pieces remaining from your holiday celebration. I received a fun gift wrapped in a fabulous blue cellophane with white dots and knew right away that it would be the perfect "leftover" to use for the blog hop.
The patterned cellophane made a great sky-like backdrop for the airplane from the new Tremendous Treats: Valentine set. After stamping the plane on a scrap of white cardstock, I colored it with Copic markers and cut it out. It's attached to a piece of the blue cellophane (wrapped around a white cardstock panel to keep it flat) with foam tape. A piece of Pure Poppy baker's twine stretches out behind the plane, dotted with felt hearts die cut with the tiniest heart from the Heart Prints die trio.The panel is edged with red strips. A white scalloped strip makes a cloud-like accent at the top while the "love in the air" sentiment from the original Tiny Treats: Valentine set is stamped on an edge of a white panel die cut with the Happy Day die and slipped underneath the bottom of the panel. I set the piece on a Hawaiian Shores cardstock--the closest match I could come up with for the blue cellophane piece.
Materials Used:
Tremendous Treats: Valentine and Tiny Treats: Valentine stamp sets, Hawaiian Shores, Pure Poppy, and white cardstock, Heart Prints and Happy Day dies, Pure Poppy felt, Pure Poppy baker's twine (Papertrey Ink); Memento Tuxedo Black and Lady Bug inks (Tsukineko); markers (Copic); scallop edge punch (Stampin' Up!); blue cellophane; foam tape
