Airplane, Clouds & Chevron Baby Boy {What’s in a Frame} – A Peek Into My Creative Process

Hello!
I have a really fun {What’s in a Frame} to share with you today! Here’s a detail shot before we get into the good stuff…

 

Then I decided to use the airplane from the retired CTMH Splendid Day stamp set. I inked it in Crystal Blue and then rolled the edges in chocolate to make it pop. I then cut it out, along with the banner to trail from it, and laid everything out to where I liked it.

Once I liked the general layout I adhered the squares down, added the embellishments…and TADA!

When I made this artwork, Baby Michael wasn’t born yet, so I left the banner blank for Momma to add his birth stats. I inked the edges of the cloud with a sponge dauber using Crystal Blue ink.

 Since I added a sun in the corner, I also brought in a few other pops of yellow to tie it all together. I stampedthe sun in Honey ink and also inked around the edges.

Here are the measurements I use for all my frames:

• Colored squares: 1-3/4″
• White squares that letters are on: 1-1/2″
• Letters: 1″ on Cricut

Paper used:
Tan: CTMH Twitterpated, Claire, & Magnifique

I hope you enjoyed…have a crafty day!
