Sprint Towards Your Dreams

Today we are continuing with our monthly product focus with Artistic Outpost and this month our theme is Transportation/Aviation. I am focusing on the Charles and Amelia stamp set this month to create a vintage masculine card.

This month, the Artistic Outpost Product Focus is on the stamps found in the Transportation/Aviation stamp category on the Artistic Outpost Website. All stamps in the Transportation/Aviation category are ON SALE for 20% off through until Saturday 11th April 2015.

I began by die cutting my card with the Karen Burniston Oval Accordion Die from kraft card adding splatters of Gathered Twigs Distress Paint to the card and applying Gathered Twigs Distress Ink to the edges for definition.

This is the front of the card which I added a die cut oval to the centre along with the fabulous sentiment from the Charles and Amelia stampset. I coloured the background with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and then flicked the background with water, applying Black Soot Distress Ink around the edges for definition. A touch of stamping, remnant rubs and a Chitchat sticker complete the front of my card.

I die cut two further ovals from white card and coloured with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink, again flicking with water to add bleached out areas to the background and then I stamped the focal images with Black Archival Ink.

I added a monocle to one of the focal images, adding a remnant rub to the glass of the monocle and attaching a mini sprocket with a jump ring.

A touch more background stamping and remnant rubs along with mini sprockets complete my design.

My fellow team member Shari has also created a wonderful project to inspire you further.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Tracy x x
