Mel Sanz - In a Crafty Mood: JDS - Flying by to say Hi!

Hello my Crafty Friends,

Today's DT card for Jan's Digital Stamps was quite fun to do.

Flying by to say Hi!

I first started by inking seven different cardstock with my Distress Oxide Inks to create my Rainbow. Below are the inks I used:

Pink: Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberries

Red: Candied Apple

Orange: Carved Pumpkin

Yellow: Mustard Seed

Green: Mowed Lawn

Blue: Blue Print Sketch

Purple: Seedless Preserves

I then proceeded to die cut seven rainbows using the Trinity Stamps Slimline Rainbow Builder Die Set and used one piece of each color to create the perfect Rainbow.

Next step was to die cut my Clouds and to ink my Sky. To do so, I used one of the cloud piece with Distress Oxide Salty Ocean and a Blender Brush to ink clouds here and there on my Accent Opaque 80lb Panel.

For my Hot Air Balloon, I printed this beautiful digital stamp from JDS store called up-UP-AWAY! and colored the image with the following Copic and SN:

Balloon and Basket Fabric - V09, V06, V04

Ribbon - YG95, YG93, YG03

Sweater - IG3, B21, BG01, B000

Overall Pants - IG5, YG95, YG93, YG03

Basket - E37, E35, E37

Skin - E04, E11, E02, E000

Helmet - IG5, IG3, IG1

I have to confess that it was a challenge to color my image as most of my Copics are dry but I managed to mix different shades and for some miracle, my Green lasted until I was done so it all turned out ok.

I then assembled my card and cut my panel to 8 1/4 x 3 1/4 and glued it on a 8 1/2 x 7 top folding cardbase scored at 3 1/2.

The last step was to glue my sentiment.
