Soaring for You - CAS

2/28/2016 Update: "Soaring for You" was selected as "A Cut Above" winner in the Up, up and away challenge!







This card was inspired by The Paper Players Theme Challenge #283, "Up, Up and Away!" using a CAS design.

The front of the card base was sponged to achieve the look of sky and clouds. Five kites were heat embossed with white powder on a panel of white cardstock. They were then sponged with color and fussy-cut. Three were backed with Dimensionals and adhered to the card front and their tails stamped. The sun was die cut from cardstock, touched up with Wink of Stella (clear) and adhered directly to the card front. The sentiment was stamped. The two remaining kites were used to decorate the inside of the card.
