Hello once again. The Alphabet Challenge has started another round of the Alphabet. Billie A has chosen the theme:

A is for in the Air

Here is my card:

I made this card as our God Son has been accepted into the WWE world in the USA, and is going to their training camp in Florida. What an achievement for him. We wish him all the best in the world.

I started by creating the plane from a Spellbinders die set – Fly Away – then hunted for a flowing banner, which I found in a Heffy Doodle set ‘Flying High‘. The sentiment was stamped then die cut with the banner die.

I wanted lots of details and some dimension for the scene, so I also used the Spellbinders die set called ‘Tunnel Clouds‘, and three different shades of blue card stock, playing with the placement and ararngement a little to create a large enough area for the plane and banner to sit in.

When I first put the layers together, they looked a little ‘plane’ (forgive my pun……) so I then a Spellbinders embossing folder on all three layers called ‘Cloud Nine‘, lining up each of the three layers so the pattern ran across seamlessly, then took my white pigment ink pad and gently ran it across the top to highlight the raised areas.

The final step was to add some sequins, because I saw no reason not to really…….added bling for an up-and-coming international wrestler……!

I hope you can come and join us with your creations following our theme. There are lots of options to be able to create, as you can see from the DT inspiration. xx

I shall be entering the following challenges:

Tic Tac Toe – middle column – die cuts/emboss/layers

Cut It Up – die cuts and something with wings
