Happy Friday! It's Jeanne today and I have a fun card using the Fox in Airplane die from the new Springtime release.
This little pilot really caught my eye. Not only do we have a few pilots in our family, but this works well with encouraging or congratulatory "sky high" type sentiments!
I started with a sketch from Splitcoaststampers that I rotated 90 degrees.I went through my scrap box and picked out scraps that coordinated with the papers I wanted to use. Then I cut the pilot and plane from the Fox in Airplane die and the sun and clouds using the older Spring Frogs die. I used vellum for the windshield.
My card and base is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches. I cut my base panel from striped paper and two other squares 4 1/4 inches square and 4 3/8 inches square.
I glued the two small panels together and added my sentiment strip (3/4 x 5 1/2 inches) and sun to the panels.
I trimmed my sun flush with the panels...... then after gluing that to the base panel, I added the clouds and trimmed the banner flush with the base panel. To add dimension I popped up the plane using foam strips. I am one of those who uses A LOT of foam strips. I like my popped up images to feel solid. But this is purely a personal preference.My pilot is taking to the skies!
