SKY IS THE LIMIT

Good afternoon!
Here is the first of two cards which I am going to enter the LESS IS MORE CHALLENGE 'Vehicles':



I used Stampin' Up! The Sky Is The Limit stamp set and World Traveler embossing folder (both retired). I only stamped up part of the planes 'contrails' - had to look this word up as I didn't know what to call it! Apparently.....Those white streaks planes leave behind are actually artificial clouds. They're called contrails, which is a shortened version of the phrase “condensation trail." Airplane engines produce exhaust, just like car engines do. As hot exhaust gases escape from a plane, the water vapor in the fumes hits the air. So there you go!!!
Anyway I digress - then I coloured in my contrails with a chalk marker and circled my sentiment with a Stampin' Write marker but felt that it was too bold so I tried to soften it slightly with the chalk marker. This probably ruined the card but I will be back with my second entry shortly.

  4. Great use of your embossing folder and stamps for this unique, creative card! I don't think your use of chalk marker ruined the card but adds a nice touch! Well done! Thanks for joining us at Less Is More!
