As soon as I saw Winston piloting that cute little airplane, I was immediately inspired to incorporate the Sky Borders Die Set to create a cloudy sky background. Here's how I did it:
Inlaid Die Cut + Distress Ink Cloud Background
Cut a piece of watercolor paper to 4 x 5.25 inches.
Use a piece of low tack tape to hold the die in place near the bottom of the card. Run it through your manual die cutting machine.
Move the die up a little higher and slide it over a bit to the right or left on the paper, tape it in place and run it through your die cut machine.
Repeat this same process making sure to move the die a little bit to the left or right. You want to try to offset the shapes so that each cut doesn't line up exactly.
Next, use foam ink blenders to apply Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to the bottom edge of each cut piece. Remember to tap off some of the excess ink before you start applying the ink to the paper. Lightly blend the ink toward the top of each piece.
Now apply Salty Ocean Distress Ink to the bottom edge and again make sure to tap off some of the excess ink before you begin applying the ink. After you've completed the inking process, adhere your die cut & Distress Ink cloud background to your card front.
Now for some fun! Would you like to win the “Winston Takes Flight” Stamp Set?
This set will be given away to ONE lucky winner!
