The Sky's the Limit

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge - Memorial Day 2013.  The challege this week is to create a card or project celebrating Memorial Day.  I decided upon this little vintage airplane from the Heritage cartridge and used patriotic colors of red, white and blue.

A2 sized card = 5.5" x 4.25"
Heritage cartridge
Plantin SchoolBook cartridge
Card Recipe:
  • Mat 1 (red / white polka dot pattern) = 5 3/8" x 4 1/8".  Paper from Recollections.  Edges inked with Tim Holtz Faded Jeans Distress Ink.
  • Mat 2 (blue) = 4.75" x 3.5".   Edges inked with Tim Holtz Faded Jeans Distress Ink.
  • Mat 3 (white border) = 3.5" x 1.25".
  • Mat 4 (blue border) = 3.5" x 1".  Mat embossed with the Paper Studio Tiny Stars folder.  White ink rubbed over raised stars to help them stand out.

Airplane found in the Cricut Hertiage cartridge

  • Airplane = cut at 1.75" from Cricut Heritage cartridge;   found on page 58 of the folder.  Plane was cut four times and glued together to create a chipboard effect.  White gel pen used for stitching.
