Flight Deck

 

Hello crafty friends!  Are you tired of my outer space themed cards yet?  I am still not done playing with them.  There is something about this last Trinity Stamps release that totally sparked a creative streak in me.  Maybe it's because I had two boys, maybe it's just the fun colors.  Who knows??  

I wasn't sure how I was going to use the Flight Deck Die, but it is perfect for a shaker card.  The cow and the Milky Way sign from the Milky Way Stamp Set and coordinating dies were just perfect for this card.

I inked the background with Black Soot and Villainous Potion Distress Oxide Ink on white cardstock.  To add a little more interest to the background I stamped and heat embossed some of the designs that are included with Milky Way Stamp Set.  I also speckled the background with silver metallic watercolor.  

I colored the images using Copic markers in the following colors:

• Y02, Y15, Y36
• B000, BG01, B04, B05
• YR02, YR16, YR18
• R11, R21
• E50, E51, E53, E55, E57

Once I had my images die cut and applied to the background, I used 2 layers of black foam tape to create my well for the Celestial Skies Sprinkles Clay Embellishment Mix.  I only had 1/2" black foam tape, so for the sides, I cut it in half so edges were a little more proportionate to the Flight Deck Die.  

The Flight Deck die is open on the sides, so to cover up my foam tape, I cut 1/4" strips of black cardstock and adhered them to a piece of 4" x 5.25" acetate sheet.  I cut the Flight Deck out of black cardstock and adhered that to my acetate.  I used the die again to cut the deck again from Turquoise and Purple cardstock. Then I trimmed them to fit on top of the black cardstock layer to give it some fun color.  I cut the panels, steering wheels and gages using the included dies from the set and adhered them to the instrument panel.  

Once I had everything adhered to the acetate, I placed it on my shaker well.  

I glued my shaker piece to a black cardstock card base.  For the sentiment, I used one from the Milky Way Stamp Set and stamped it on a piece of 4.0" x 5.25" white cardstock and glued it to the inside of my card base.

This cow is so cute just floating through space don't you think???

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!!!
