For yesterday’s OCL sketch challenge I got out my new set In Flight. It is so pretty.
I started by cutting an oval with Petite Oval Nestabilities out of Solar White Neenah cardstock. I sponged it with Wild Honey, Peeled Paint , Fired Brick and Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I scribbled Glossy Accents over part of the oval and pressed a piece of a page from a dictionary page over the glue and let dry. Then I ripped the rest of the page off and sponged over the library piece. Last I covered the entire oval in Rock Candy Distress Stickles.
Next I stamped the dotted background and swirls over the oval in Jet black Archival ink. I also stamped the big background in the upper center of the cardstock. I stamped it again on grunge paper. I cut it out, sponged it with Peeled Paint and Chipped Sapphire and then added Peeled Paint and Broken China Distress Stickles.
The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Ruby Red cardstock. The edges were sponged with Aged Mahogany Distress ink and the bottom corners were rounded. AÂ 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece of Laundry Line Designer Paper was stitched to a 3/16″ bigger piece of Basic Black cardstock.
The horizontal layers started out as 7/8″ x 4 1/4″ piece of White cardstock. They were sponged and stamped. The black piece was punched with the Martha Stewart Deco Shell Border Punch. The sentiment was stamped in Jet Black Archival ink and punched out with Stampin’ Up!’s large oval punch. The edges were sponged first with Wild Honey, then with Aged Mahogany Distress inks. Tiny Tinkles were added as a flight tail behind the Butterfly.
The 1/2″ wide Silk ribbon started out in ivory. It was sponged first in Vintage Photo, then with Aged Mahogany. The dotted background was stamped all over the ribbon. After it dried it was tied into a bow with Bow-Easy and attached to the card with glue dots.
Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful Easter weekend! Hugs and smiles
