I belong to a Facebook group called Random Acts of Cardness
where we send cards out when a request for a card shower is posted. Yesterday, I saw a post for a veteran who has
been hospitalized for several weeks and is need of a “pick me up.” It was late when I saw the request so I didn’t
have time to make a card, but I did find one in my stash to send.
I’ve had this card for quite a while, so I’m glad I finally
found a reason to send it out. I remember some of the details, so I’ll post as
much info as I can.
The airplane stamp is from Prickly Pear – I stamped it in
black permanent ink on white cardstock. I used markers to color the image, then
fussy cut it out. I do not know the
brand of the tree stamp, but it is similar to one of the stamps in Stampin’ Up’s
retired set, Lovely as a Tree. I stamped the trees with Stazon ink onto glossy
cardstock. After the ink dried, I sponged around the trees with blue ink to
create the sky – this gave the illusion of clouds. I sponged green ink along
the ground to create the landscape.
The card front is 5-1/4” x 4” and is layered onto a piece of
black cardstock measuring 5-3/8” x 4-18”.
The size of the finished card is A2, 5-1/2” x 4-1/4”.
