So here is the card that I made using it…bit of a sky theme and I managed to turn it into a card perfect for Valentine’s Day too!
Oh this was such a fun card to make – my favorite bit is that big vellum sunburst that consumes the entire card front – it is so dramatic! All stamps used to make this card are featured in the set Sky is the Limit.
The cardstocks…are Crumb Cake and Whisper White.
The blue background…is actually a piece of DSP that is shaded pale blue with subtle white streaks & splodges – simply perfect for creating a sky background! It is from a pack called Perfectly Artistic which is another item that you can get for FREE during Sale-a-bration – find it on pg 19 of the brochure…
The sunburst…is a fantastic new die called Sunburst Thinlits that is featured on pg 25 of the Occasions Catalog – I die cut it out of Vellum Cardstock and added it to the entire front of my card – LOVE it!
The airplane and heart clouds…are stamped in Early Espresso Ink – I stamped the clouds & trail onto a 1″ wide strip of white cardstock and the airplane onto a scrap and then cut it out. I added a brown Candy Dot to the center of the propeller.
The banner…is created using a die from Banners Framelits and stamped with that cool ‘you send me soaring’ sentiment.
The finishing touches…I added some white dots from White Perfect Accents and another hear that I colored pink and added to the edge of the banner…
I think that this is my favorite card that I have made for ages – my creative mojo is coming back!
