The Sky is the Limit

Another special birthday for a special man

he loves aeroplanes and art, so I sponged on some ink,

and decoupaged the plane

decorated the inside

added an acetate propeller on a brad

and a couple of brads on the banner

up up and away.....

Hiya

I'm back with Sky is the Limit

....take 2.....

Similar to the one I shared Tuesday,

but this time I used Stampin' Up! ink pads

and an 'Aquapainter' ( waterbrush ).

I felt it was missing something, so added some clouds

Do you have a favourite?

I would be very grateful for any feedback.

The Sky is the Limit

Warning:

you may need your sunglasses for this one!

I inked some daffodil delight yellow where I wanted the 'sun',

stamped and embossed the sunburst,

then did a water wash before adding some brusho paints.

The paints are a powder, but they spread and blend with the water.

I stamped and embossed the sentiment and  airplane, 

the 'vapour trail' being a happy accident.

Hopefully you can also see the way it's enhanced

 by matting and layering onto black,

a trick I learnt from Eileen Godwin and Sarn.

This was for a very special young man

who has made the whole family very proud,

passing his basic training.

Hope your week is going well,

I think we're in for a wet and windy day tomorrow,

so make sure you keep warm and dry.

Sky is the limit

Evening all......

Here's a card I made very quickly with a new embossing folder,

and a stamp from our up-and-coming sale-a-bration....

I'm afraid I struggle with time when making cards

 for November through January,

as that christmas thing gets in the way :)

So next year, I need to get ahead with xmas cards AND

birthday cards!

here's some more lovely swaps I received...

This was the talk of the convention....

looks like a little chocolate

but its all made from card....

utterly adorable if not edible.....

This cork place setting card holder was so cute too..

the corks are glued and card slots in between....

great idea....

cutie penguin card...

and cute plastic box that hides a sweet,

with bow from the bow builder punch

please remind me to scale them next time!

photography NOT my strong point, as you can tell!

Have a great evening

Lesley
