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.

Soar Confidently for JAI 546

Just Add Ink's Steampunk challenge came at just the right time for me having just received, and started playing with, Soar Confidently.

 

I started with a piece of DSP from World of Good and added in some images from Very Versailles (more script), Beautiful World (compasses) and Soar Confidently (the dirigible) all in Crumb Cake. The edges were sponged in Early Espresso.

The vintage balloon and dirigible were stamped in Early Espresso, then I used a Blender pen to spread the ink and Early Espresso to sponge the edges after fussy cutting them.

The cogs are from the Garage Gears dies, cut in Brass Foil and distressed with both Black and Saddle Brown Stazon.

The sentiment is from Soar Confidently and cut with one of the Tasteful Labels dies, then distressed with Crumb Cake.

Soar Confidently for TGIF 307

 I was intrigued by the sketch at TGIF Challenges. 

Immediately, I knew that I wanted to used  a previously uninked set, Soar Confidently. This little set is easy to overlook in the January-June Mini Catalogue but its masculine, vintage-style images really resonated with me - so I finally cracked and added it to my last order. You can add it to yours by visiting my on-line store.

It works really well with the World of Good suite from the 2020-21 Annual Catalogue because they both have that shabby-vintage vibe. The sketch seemed to suggest that it wanted DSP on the card base, so I looked to the  World of Good Specialty DSP. Once I decided to curl over the top corner, revealing the Misty Moonlight patterned reverse, I added in some steam punk gears from the Garage Gears dies, cut from Misty Moonlight,  to pop in behind the airship and balloon.

After stamping the images in Early Espresso, I used a blender pen to spread the ink and make the images more sepia and sponged the edges in Early Espresso to add some depth and distress. The edge of the DSP is also sponged in Early Espresso to add to the shabby feel.

I shadowed the sentiment in Brass Foil, to pick up the brassiness of the textured mat. 

I think this little set has a lot more to give!
