![]() I trimmed one of the sentiments down so I could have three strips going down the front of my card, overhanging the edge of my blended panel. I'll pick out the sentiments I want and then save the rest for future cards. I used the coordinating Sentiment Strips Die to cut out all of the sentiments at once. I stamped the sentiments onto Pitch Black cardstock using Unicorn pigment ink and then heat embossed with White Embossing Powder. I found a sentiment that would work perfectly for this in the Everyday Sentiment Strips stamp set. Again, the songwriter is making a connection between your mood and the kites flight. Since graduation is coming up I thought this would make a great graduation card. It certainly is relaxing, even therapeutic. I trimmed my panel down using a Rectangle Infinity Die and popped it up on a card base using foam tape. Even though there are three layers to the stencil, I can get the look of three different ink colors by applying a heavier amount of ink with the Dusty Blue. To create the clouds, I used Cornflower and Dusty Blue, using a blending brush to apply the ink. The kite should catch on the wind and start flying. You want the line to be taut but still have a little give to it. Let go of the kite and let out a bit of the line, giving it some slack. If the wind isn't enough, get another family member to help hold the kite. I think the big puffy clouds look great next to my kite. If the wind's strong enough, you should already feel a pull against the kite's fabric. You can add a kite to so many different scenes but I really love the new Color Layering Clouds stencils. The first color that came to mind was creating my kite from Cherry cardstock. I added the details to the kite with Deluxe Smooth White cardstock but I didn't need the tail to be super long so I trimmed it down a smidge. And now that I probably have the song stuck in your head from the post title, let's jump in!ĭid you fly kites growing up? Or maybe you fly them with your kids? I remember flying kites with my Dad so kites bring back fond memories for me. ![]() Hello friends! This is Mindy stopping by the Hero Arts blog to share a card I created using the new Kite Fancy Die.
