STAMPtember - Riley and Company - Flying By

 Hello Crafty Friends and welcome! I am so excited for today's blog post. My card for you today was created for STAMPtember's Riley and Company stamp that is now available for purchase at Simon Says Stamp. This exclusive stamp set comes with 7 images and 6 sentiments. Be sure to stop by SSS to purchase this super cute stamp set!!

For this card, I wanted to have it appear that the plane was actually flying, so I used Karen Burniston's Raising Platform Pop-Up die set. Because of the way I wanted to position everything, I couldn't use an A2 sized card base, so I made a side fold 5x7 card base using a dark blue cardstock. I then added a lighter solid blue paper for my background. 

I wanted it to appear that this scene was up in the clouds, so I cut a piece of white cardstock the same size as my background paper then drew out clouds. I did this twice for each side. I went over the edges of the clouds with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Ink. Then, with my craft scissors, I cut the clouds out and glued them on to my card. 

I wanted to add some more Riley images, so I used my STAMPtember stamp set from last year (or might have been the year before that), It's Your Day, to add more fun characters. I had to do some masking, then add hands/paws but I think it turned out pretty cool. I added the balloons from the same stamp set, drawing on the strings to make it easier when fussy cutting the balloons. 

I added the stamped sentiments to the bottom from the Flying By stamp set. I stamped the Riley in the plane using Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink, then colored them in with Copic makers. I did this will all the images on this card. 

I die cut clouds from Karen Burniston's Landscape Scene using smooth white cardstock. I just love how this card came out. That stamp set is super cute so be sure to head on over to Simon Says Stamps for the last day of STAMPtember to buy the Riley and Company Flying By stamp set. Thank you so much for stopping by today and Happy Crafting!
