Up, Up and Away.........

Hello my crafty friends I hope your week is going well and you are having good weather, we had our preview of summer for a couple of days and now it's -1 C or 30 F and been snowing so I'm back wearing my winter coat. The only thing to do until the real summer arrives is see what new challenges are being promoted, starting with Up, Up, and Away at Shopping Our Stash so create a card with something you will see in the SKY, balloon, plane, bird, rainbow....so many options. A couple of Thursdays ago while at bowling the score board puts animated pictures when a strike, spare, headpin etc happens well one was a biplane and an idea was planted, sometimes you don't know where or when inspiration will happen, now own to my card. (just as I envisioned)


The stamp set I used is Sky is the Limit  from a Sale-a-bration promotion not sure of the year but this is only the second time it has seen ink, I did a bit of colouring and fussy cut the plane and cut a second propeller which is popped up, then flat attached it to the acetate. The background was blended with broken china distress oxide ink on a Studio Light cloud stencil (second attempt at clouds) Both sentiments are from the same set. 


Side view.


Another angle but nothing really shows it perfectly except to see it IRL

I am entering this in:

The Male Room ~~  vehicles or transport

Seize the Birthday ~~ Anything Goes 



Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you get a chance to create a card for the Up, Up and Away challenge at  SOS

Barb, I love the way you used the acetate to give your card such a 3D feel! It looks like when you fussy cut the plane, you actually cut around the wing struts so the clouds show behind the plane... that takes devotion and lots of patience!! You did a great job of the clouds!! Thank you for sharing your card with us at The Male Room for our "transport" challenge!!! -Donna
