Today is I am sharing my Soar Confidently Birthday Card that I made for my father-in-law’s birthday that was yesterday using the Soar Confidently Stamp Set. My father-in-law loves planes, and I knew that a card with the plane from this set would be perfect for him! I just happened to decide to use all the images, as well as the plane.
The Details of My Card
Since the images look vintage, I decided to create an old world feel to my card. So, once I stamped my images on Very Vanilla card stock, I used my Blender Pen to “colour” the stamped images in certain areas where the line art was the strongest. I then fussy cut the stamped images out with my Paper Snips. To give my card more of a vintage feel I sponged ink along the edges. I usually don’t mix Very Vanilla and Basic White but thought the vintage look I was going for allowed it to work.
I decided to use the World of Good Designer Series Paper since it is perfect for a masculine card! Specifically, the one with the compasses on the Misty Moonlight background which reminded me of a blue sky. This paper is retiring and is currently on sale!
For my card, I wanted all the different flying machines to be in the air. So, I need some clouds which is where the Mountain Air Bundle came into effect. I stamped them in Misty Moonlight, but stamped off twice before stamping them on the Basic White card stock to give them a soft fluffy look.
I stamped the sentiment in a Stitched Rectangle, add a couple of banners with one in copper foil to match the copper stars from the Star Designer Elements.
