SISTER STASH - All occasion card featuring bold stripes/plaid decorative paper, brown grosgrain ribbon and a blue plane

 This is my third card from my sister's stash of supplies.  It has been really fun to find fun papers, coordinating cardstock and make a card with them.  For this card, I colour printed a little plane (digital from CLKER) and then added clouds by sponging around a torn shape with blue ink.  They look much better than I expected ( have saved that little piece for next time) and the colour laser resists the sponging so it does not affect the printed image.  I ran my tracing wheel all on four sides and mounted it to a scrap of blue from the stash.  I left it with a bit on the bottom which I trimmed with pinking shears which no longer cut fabric and then embossed a line using my score tool.  I chose this double sided paper in blues and greens for my background.  I trimmed the middle section out and flipped it over to the blue plaid side and reattached it with regular tape on the back.  I used a zigzag stitch stamp (Hero Arts) and dark blue ink to stamp over the joints which worked beautifully.  I mounted my background to a medium blue card (8.5" x 5.5") which will fit in her envelopes.  I added a length of wide brown grosgrain ribbon which I fish tailed on one end and adhered with double sided tape on the other.  I secured the fish tail end with a bit of double sided tape as well and added a bit of glue in between.  I added my layered airplane image using 3D foam tape.    Therese
