Flying Banner

I'm really hoping I haven't jinxed my father making this card: he's moving to a retirement village if he can sell his house, and I'm planning to give him this when he does. When I saw CAS(E) this sketch's latest,

 I immediately thought of the charming little plane in the 'In the City' stamp set from Stampin' Up, and wondered if I could use it. CASology's challenge word 'zoom' reinforced my desire, and the colours from Global Design Project - Mint Macaron, Fresh Fig and Grapefruit Grove - gave me the last piece of the puzzle.

I think I'm going to love the new Stampin' Up stampset 'Birthday Backgrounds - it's going to be versatile - here it gives some 'zoom' to the planes.

Card Ingredients:
Stampin' Up ink (Fresh Fig, Basic Black, Mint Macaron), card (Whisper White, Grapefruit Grove, Mint Macaron, Fresh Fig), stamps (Birthday Backgrounds, In the City)

Tiny House

I've been playing around with the Stampin' Up stamp set 'In the City' for a while now, but this is the first time I've used it for a challenge. I just love miniatures, and so love the doll's house feel of these stamps. I used Paper Player's challenge PP359 as a layout inspiration, and CASE'ed (that sounds so much better than stole!) the idea for the clouds from a card made by a friend of mine, (or perhaps I should call her my card addiction enabler), Jan Clothier (her blog is here - she is an inspiration).
Here's the result:

 Made Using:
