CR84FN 46

With the many gray days we have had, these soft spring colors of CR84FN Color Challenge were inviting me to play.

When I saw these colors, I knew I wanted to make a card using one of the sweet images from Crafty Secrets Born to Fly stamp set. When Crafty Secrets announced last month they were no longer going to be making clear stamps, I quickly ordered a few sets that had been on my wish list. Luckily, customer response has convinced them to continue producing their stamps.

I started with a Lemon Tart card base. I printed the patterned papers, using Crafty Secrets Creating with Vintage Patterns CD #1. The yellow patterned paper is edged with a Martha Stewart heart border. The pink pattern is a happy mistake.  I printed one pattern and meant to print another pattern on the back, but I put the paper in the printer the wrong way and printed the second pattern over the first. The tickets are also from Born to Fly and the flourish above the heart is from French Mail.  I stamped the image on a die cut (Quickutz Nested Doily Hearts) and colored with Copics and Prismacolor pencils; I added just a touch of sparkle to her wings with a Spica Buttermilk pen. And of course, I used some Antique Linen to age the die cut.  The sentiment from PTI's Tiny Tags is stamped on a Tiny Tags die cut.

Have a wonderful week,
