Creative Team Where the Wind Takes You Card
by Creative Team member Helen Cooke
Supplies:
smooth white card;
textured card; silver card
Carpe Diem : Posh – word label stickers
Instructions:
In order to determine how I wanted the airplane
to look, I cut it three times using silver card, blue glitter card and white
glitter card. I collected each of the
negative pieces from all three cards, and re-inserted them, mixing up the
different colours. I put double sided
tape on the back of the frames to keep the negative pieces in place and put the
three airplanes aside until the card background was finished.
From smooth white card, I cut a 130mm x 130mm
square. On my craft mat, I inked up
chipped sapphire and stormy sky Distress Ink, spritzed it with water and then
dragged and twisted the square of white card through it. After leaving it to dry for a few minutes, I
again smooshed the card through the remainder of the Distress Ink which gives
more of a splatter pattern. I edged the
four sides of the card with chipped sapphire and then put it aside to dry.
The co-ordinating mats were cut from silver
card (135mm x 135mm) and blue textured card (140mm x 140mm). These mats were adhered to folded white card
(290mm x 45mm).
I cut a selection of clouds from white card,
choosing a couple of them to adhere to the top of the background . From the three airplanes put aside earlier, I
chose the silver bodied one and adhered it below the clouds with double sided
foam tape.
I found an appropriate quote from the word
label stickers, cut them into three sections and with a fine black pen, drew a
line around each one.
Each background made using the above technique
is unique – no two will ever be the same.
This particular background reminds me of an approaching storm.
