Soar Confidently for Fab Friday 210

 I really liked the colour challenge at Fab Friday this time around - but then got a bit stumped as to how to use it!

Appealing, isn't it? It did get me thinking that masculine could be the way to go and that lead me to Soar Confidently - a recent acquisition - and Beautiful World. Beautiful World is about to retire, which I'm sorry about as I've not had enough time with it. 

I stamped the airplane image from Soar Confidently in Misty Moonlight, used a Blender Pen to spread the ink and a Pear Pizzazz Stampin' Write marker to colour it. After masking the image off, I added in some compasses in Smoky Slate as well as some splatters from Painted Poppies in Smoky Slate and Pear Pizzazz.


The paper is from World of Good DSP.  I took a strip of Smoky Slate and embossed it with the die that imprints coordinates of longitude and latitude while the Pear Pizzazz mat is embossed with the Tasteful Textiles embossing folder.


The sentiment showcases two of my favourite retiring products: the Classic Label punch and Itty Bitty Greetings.  A trio of In-Colour Enamel dots finished it off.

Friends are Like Seashells for Fab Friday 205

Fab Friday Challenge is back after the holiday break with a great challenge that inspired me to get into my craft room this afternoon. Admittedly, little incentive is required but it's still a great sketch to work with. 😀


I'm enjoying getting to know the Sand & Sea suite from the new January-June Mini Catalogue so the Friends are Like Seashells bundle was the go-to place for this challenge.

I've also used some of the DSP from the Sand & Sea DSP pack. This is great for coastal themes, with one side having seashell imagery and the reverse having watery/sandy patterns.


I stamped the sand dollar, starfish and scallop shell images in Basic Gray and coloured them with Stampin' Blends. Although there are dies that match these images, I fussy cut them because I wanted a minimal border for them. 


Before assembling the cluster, I used the splatter stamp to add in some 'sand' for the shells to sit on. I added in some linen twine and some Opal Rounds to finish off.

Update: Delighted to be the Fave at Fab Friday!
