Good morning everyone, hope you all have a fabulous weekend.
Today I have my last card to show you as Guest Designer
for 'The Craft Barn' for this month. This time the theme is
'take flight' so I have used an old airplane stamp coloured red
( so many of the old ones seemed to be red when I looked
at them.) This stamp is no longer available btw. ( cArt Us one)
so I am giving an alternative below.The red is more pink looking
here for some reason ! There is pink in parts from the sun but
as I look at it irl. it IS red at the edges.....honestly! Anyway come
and have a closer look........................
Card Recipe
I first made a white texturized card base ( 13cm x 15cm) & used
it tent fold. Then I cut another piece of white card (12cm x 13cm)
and cut a border from the bottom.I sponged the spare piece of
card around the edges to give it more of an antique look.I shaded
the border piece in pink then in a brown shade to match the main
card. I cut a circle then sponged it in pink then in a brown shades
around the edges to give it a distressed look. I stamped the plane then
coloured it , shading it as I did so. I printed a sentiment and used a
corner rounder on the edges then gave it a distressed look also. I
used small 3d pads to stick the spare piece of card to the base
card to give it a bit more dimension. I stuck the border down using
some spray adhesive as it was less fiddly than using glue ( handy tip) .
I stuck the circle to the spare card using 3d pads to raise it up a bit.
I did the same with the plane image. After adding the sentiment I
added a few birds for extra interest, using a black permanent
pen, that completed my card.
