For this fun tag I was inspired by Tim Holtz's Sizzix dies for this cute little airplane and clouds. I found these dies on sale, but after I got them home I realized I did not have the right Sizzix setup to use them. I kinda improvised and found a way to use them, anyhow. It takes a little more time, but they still cut pretty well. If you take a minute to watch the video I included I'll be able to explain there better how I managed to cut these!
Anyway, moving on... I created the sunset background by using a number of Distress Inks. I used Wild Honey, Carved Pumpkin, Barn Door, Aged Mahogany, Dusty Concord, and some Black Soot. More colors in one background than I usually use! I just kept blending these colors together to get that gradient sunset background.
After the background was finished, I used a white gel pen to add little stars. Then, I colored the three clouds a little bit to kind of blend in with the background. I used Black Soot to color the airplane. I wanted it to look like a silhouette in the sky. I adhered the clouds down using my ATG and then used some foam adhesive for one of the clouds as well as the airplane.
The "Live" on the bottom is a puffy sticker from Fancy Pants Designs Attwell collection. For the last finishing touches I added some black sequins and then brushed on some Wink of Stella over the airplane.
I just love how bright the color are and yet it still has that serene sunset feel to it. Makes you want to fly off into the sunset, doesn't it?
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!
