Flying High

The Cat's Pajamas had such a cute sketch this week that I couldn't resist making something with it. This card is just so colourful, it makes me smile every time I look at it! 

I used some Echo Park papers and matching stickers (the clouds). The cute epoxy brads in the upper corners are from the upcoming Occasions mini - aren't they just yummy?

The sentiment was a happy match. I was looking at my sentiment binder to find something appropriate for the card and when I saw the "You're at the top!" sentiment from one of SU!'s hostess sets, I thought it would work perfectly. The sentiment was the only part of creating this card that gave me grief. Everything was going to well. I had planned on stamping the sentiment on the cloud and I tested the ink on the sticker sheet before stamping on the project. It worked great and didn't smear so I went ahead, but what do you know, once I was done and getting the card ready to take pictures - smudges! So I went back, handcut a cloud from the patterned paper and tried to stamp the sentiment on it. I wanted it on two lines like I had done originally on the cloud, so I only inked the last word with a marker, but when I stamped it, it left a mark where the other words are! I decided to just go with the flow, use my SAMJ to reink and restamp and I decided it was good enough. The patterned paper cloud didn't have stitching around it, so I used a Bermuda Bay marker to add stitching to match the other clouds.

The green ribbon on the left band is from an upcoming SAB embellishment pack.

I love how funky and colourful this card is! It's super happy with lots to look at. I love the way you've layered the clouds in many dimensions. The ribbon "tails" are fantastic!
