Here's another card from PTI's new Up, Up & Away stamp set! I {gasp} used Summer Sunrise!! You know, I think I could become friends with this color after all! :) I thought that this color combination was a nice, bright sunshiny combination and after a week of rain I was ready for sunshine!
Tip: I sure love the cloud dies! You can't SEE where I used them on this card, but I did! I took a post-it note, and my cloud dies, ran it through my Big Shot with the sticky part on the top of the clouds and then had an instant (and easy!!) mask! Then, I just laid the post-it notes over the clouds I had already stamped and then stamped my sun. EASY!!!
Speaking of sunshine, I used both sides of the "Sunshine" impression plate for the card front and mat on this card. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this plate!! Wow! It is so cool!
When this set was first unveiled, I wasn't sure that I would like the "distressed" clouds but guess what? Once again Nichole is a genius! The way she designed these clouds as "distressed" makes them appear textured...just like clouds should be! I really, really like that about this set now! Also, this card layout came from a sketch in the current "Stamp It!" magazine. I love to use sketches when I create cards. It takes so much of the guess work about placement away.
Thank you so much for stopping by! I love all of you! Have a very good weekend! I'm looking forward to a great church service today and a church-wide BBQ and family activities afterward. Should be a fun filled day!
