Adventurous Sky Planes with Shy Shamrock

Today I'm sharing a cool plane card I made for a friends birthday. They love planes and the colour green so I went with that as my starting point!

The first layers to prepare is the Shy Shamrock card base (1/2 A4, scored at 10.5cm)
Next is the 3D Dotted Circles embossed background panel (10cm x14.5cm)

You'll also need x3 strips of DSP (2.5cm x 12.5cm each) 
I cut my DSP strips from Take to the Sky (Adventurous Sky Suite) and I added some subtle colour with a a blending brush, as the paper is originally a soft grey. Always remember to slowly build the colour when blending, previous referred to as daubing or sponging, you can always add more colour but you cant remove it. 

To my DSP strips I also gold embossed the rivet panel stamp image to the edges, again another subtle element.

The final steps are to create a frame for the plane to sit in front of
Shy Shamrock cardstock (7cm x 9.5cm) & Basic white also embossed with Dotted Circles (6.5cm x 9cm)

Stamp your aeroplane from Adventurous Sky onto Basic White in Shy Shamrock ink and gently 'drag'n the colour into the white spaces using a Blender pen.

I never forget the inside,  even if its just adding a couple of stamped images to carry the them thru.

It's my turn to Tic Tac Toe with Let's Craft Together

Welcome back to another Let's Craft Together Blog Hop! This months we'll be playing along with a Tic Tac Toe created by me. I got to choose the TTT layout and options - so I hope you enjoy this hop and I can't wait to see all the project variations.

Today I have created a super cool typical masculine card using the Adventurous Sky Bundle. 

Here's the challenge picture - I have gone stright down the middle here - selecting to make a MASCULINE, FAVOURITE STAMP SET & FUN FOLD.

Lets take a closer look at this card. I'e used the Adventurous Bundle and DSP to decorate this fun fold card. I've used the colours from the patterned paper to help me decide what colours to use. Cajun Craze is one of my all time favourite colours - I've used it just here and there today. 

How fun is this card! All the easel panels take it from cool to SUPER COOL card.  Cutting the DSP panels to decorate the front was the hardest part. I cut x3 4.5cm x 10cm rectangles, then I cut them in half on the diagonal. The best glue to use for those super fine triangle corners is the Fine Tip Glue. 

Heres a quick tutorial - I'd love to see what you come up with!

Thanks to Lisa Curcio for the cool You Tube tutorial on this style of card. 

The inside decorated and be sure to include some pop up elements to hold up each easel panel. Here I have stamped a fun edge with clouds and planes, and raised on a dimensional are 2 clouds and the plane in Cajun Craze. 

An awesome colour combination
