It's all about love at Global Design Project this week! And why not? Valentine's Day is only a few weeks away, it's wedding season, and it's just nice to be told you are loved!
One of my new favourite (they are ever changing, lol) stamp sets is Sky is the Limit, available for FREE from this years Sale-A-Bration (SAB) catalogue, when you spend $110 from any current catalogue. How lovely that Stampin' Up! want to reward us for indulging in our
Anyway, I digress. How can you tell someone you love them any better than dragging a banner through the skies that says just that! We have all seen it on telly and YouTube right? This is my recreation of that since I couldn't really afford the plane ride.
I used Timeless Textures to stamp a grid background on my card base. After sponging in my clouds, I adhered my panel to a black mat and popped it on my card front with dimensionals. I stamped my sentiment and cut a fluttering banner freehand, then tied two pieces of black twine through one end before adhering the other behind the tail section of my plane. I added a vellum circle and brad to my planes propeller to give the illusion of movement and then popped the whole thing on my card front with dimensionals.
This is a really looooong card, so a wee bit difficult to photograph and probably not one you want to send in the post either. I think it is a fun way to tell someone how you feel, especially if that someone is your sweetie. Valentine's Day sorted for 2016 - check!
