It seems to have been Christmas for some time on the blog so I thought I should try to change gear! This month’s challenge at We Love Stamping has a focus on summer. As it’s the classic season for travel, I’ve gone that way as I needed a birthday card for someone who does quite a lot of travelling.
I used torn paper to create fluffy clouds in my blue summer sky, masking all the various elements first (including the edges masked with low tack tape). I would probably have added some colour to the globe but hubby liked it without and as he requested the card I went with leaving it black and white. The ticket has just a touch of pencil colouring and there’s a drop shadow added to the globe with a marker.

There's a positive to being Christmas for so long, your December card basket will be better stacked for the seasonal rush.
ReplyDeleteThe masked cloud panel makes a perfect backdrop for the travel themed card which is a great take on our theme at We Love Stamping, many thanks for sharing your creativity.
I smiled at your comment re colours on my tag and our artwork and wondered if I'd dare tell you, but going to, I love to wear colour as well and my nails are always vibrant (or black)!
