You Send Me Soaring

Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you're spending the day with loved ones. I'm readjusting back to the cold temps here in Canada. I just returned from sunny Florida and I think I might be hibernating in my studio for the next week. ;)

Today's card features the ever-popular The Sky is the Limit stamp set from Sale-A-Bration - only available until tomorrow - it's a limited time set (SAB runs until March 31st though!). I paired it with Timeless Textures from the Occasions Catalogue, and the little heart from last month's Paper Pumpkin kit, Cute Conversations.

I started by stamping in Real Red and when I got the look I was after, I stamped the plane in Basic Black. The sentiment was punched using the Decorative Label Punch, but I trimmed off the top and bottom piece so that the Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper that I punched with the the same punch would pop through.

On the inside, I simply created the same border as I did on the front.

Until next time, stay crafty!

The Sky is the Limit

Today's card is simple, but I really LOVE how it turned out! It's a congratulatory card, fitting for a graduation. Check it out:

I started with a piece of watercolour paper and inked up the stamp from Work of Art using a select number of Stampin' Write Markers that resembled rainbow colours. Before stamping that on my piece of watercolour paper, I spritzed it using a Stampin' Spritzer that I filled with water. A couple good spritzes should do the trick. This gives the image a softer look and the colours blend together as they would in a rainbow.

I punched a few cards from Whisper White Card Stock and sponged the edges with some Pool Party ink. The sentiment is stamped in Basic Grey and then I traced around the letters with my Pool Party Stampin' Write Marker to give it a softer look.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Sky is the Limit freebie you can currently earn for FREE during Sale-A-Bration. It's a limited time only stamp set and will be around until February 15th only. Behind the sentiment, I stamped the plane image, making sure to stamp off once.

You can earn this set for free by buying all the supplies I used to create this card, or anything you desire for $60 before taxes and shipping. Contact me for details!

Until next time, stay crafty!
