Good morning.  Hope you are having a good week.  

I'm finding it hard to believe it is the end of January already!

My card today was made using the Avery Elle set called Fly By.  I thought it would make a perfect masculine card for a work colleague.

I started by very lightly inking through a cloud stencil for the background.  I used Arctic from the Altenew Glacier Caves ink set.

The plane was coloured with Copic markers and cut with the matching die.  I added small foam squares to give dimension on the front of the card, and did the same with the clouds.

I added the sentiment as a banner behind the plane.  I wanted the black and white striped paper but couldn't find any in the stash.  I made this piece with a permanent marker and a ruler.

Hope you like it.  TTFN Jude xx

Fly by

Good morning all, hope your week is going well. Today's card is one I made to send to my uncle for his birthday. I always struggle with male cards so this set from Avery Elle is great. 

I inked a background with Distress Inks, to resemble a runway and then added a few lines with a white roller ball pen. 

The clouds are stamped with Memento Ink and then coloured with a white marker pen. 

I coloured the plane and banners with Copic Markers and then cut them out with their coordinating dies. 

Then I stamped one of the greetings that comes with the set on to the banner. 

A really simple card, but still effective. 

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.
