Today's card was designed for SSINK sketch challenge #30.
This idea came to me early Sunday morning when I had the opportunity to sleep in past 5:30am. But when I have an idea for card and the house it quiet, it is hard for me to go back to sleep. So I finally got up and it was 6am! I guess that's when my creative juices are flowing.
The technique for this card is call "Spot Lighting". You stamp the image twice, on two different pieces of paper. One of these pieces should be smaller than the other. Then you line up the smaller piece of stamped paper over the top of the larger piece of stamped paper. Like I did with the heart and square on this card.
The plane and heart smoke trail are from the Sky is the Limit Sale-A-Bration stamp set. This set will not be available after 2/15/16. So you only have a few days left to get this stamp set for yourself. As this set is a Sale-A-Bration item that means you can get it for FREE! When you order $50 you get to pick a Sale-A-Bration item for free, like this set! Did you see the birthday card I made with this set last week?
For the background I used a very cool collections of designer paper! I love the maps in this set as well as the constellations and the marbled papers! A great stack of designer paper for making masculine cards.
Since my card base is black I had to add a neutral color to the inside, one that is easier to write on. Then I stamped the sentiment; "you send me soaring" in red. Making this a great Valentine card for a guy.
I only wish I could buy some airline tickets to someone special and surprise my hubby with this card and a getaway for us! Well at least this card lets me dream of the possibilities.

Love what you did with this sketch and your spotlighting. So cool! Such a great Valentine's card. I also like the idea of using sahara sand (?) on the inside. Something I would not have thought of. I usually stick with white or vanilla. Little tips I appreciate. :)
