Soaring

I've had another play with the great SAB set, The Sky is the Limit. Here's my card:

I used a stencil in the background, sponged with crushed curry ink, then stamped my sentiment. The plane was stamped with craft black and clear embossed, then I went over the body of the plane with my Versamark pen (you can see it's turned it slightly grey) and clear embossed again - this enabled me to stencil some sun's rays over the image without the actual plane itself going yellow - because you just wipe the excess ink off the clear embossed parts. Love this technique! The plane was then cut out and adhered with Dimensionals, lining up the rays to match those underneath.

Materials used:

• stamps - The Sky is the Limit
• card - cherry cobbler, basic black, crushed curry, whisper white
• other - MFT stencil (Sun Ray), Dimensionals, sponge, sponge dauber, clear embossing powder, heat tool, stamp-a-ma-jig, scissors, snail adhesive

Thanks for stopping by.

The Sky's the Limit

It's always good to get more guy stamps in a new catalogue as masculine cards are something my ladies often ask for. The SAB freebie set 'The Sky's the Limit' is proving to be very popular and I can understand why - it has great images and a variety of sentiments in nice fonts: what more could we wish for?

So I sat and had a play with it, also incorporating the new World Traveller embossing folder from the Occasions catalogue. Here tis:

Materials used:

• stamps - The Sky's the Limit
• card - soft sky, whisper white, crumb cake
• other - world traveller embossing folder, Big Shot, clear embossing powder, heat tool, scissors, Dimensionals, stamp-a-ma-jig, circle card thinlits, two-way glue pen, tweezers, sponge daubers

The piece of white card is edged with black ink to help define it and this also gives the illusion of another layer without the bulk of more card. My ladies love this trick!

Thanks for stopping by.
