Flying High for Your Birthday!

Hello everyone! Today is my first post as a freshly minted new Design Team member for Ai. I am so excited to be here! Like you, I am a HUGE Ai fan and can't wait to share my creations with you. I will be posting on Saturdays and hope you'll stop by every weekend to see what's been shared. You can also find me on YouTube and on my blog. Just look for SugarShine Designs.

Today I'm bringing out an older but oh-so-fun His & Hers Flying High set which is perfect for a landscape slimline card. This set has all the pieces to make a great little scene including a dog and a parachute. So cute! 

For this card, I chose the plane, Birthday banner and one of the sentiments. The sky background was created with a simple water color technique and the images were Copic colored. 

I mounted the plane on an Action Wobble. It makes the plane pop and adds some action to the scene. You can see how it moves below.

I have a video for you on the background and card construction. If you want to try watercolor, the sky is made with a very simple technique that's perfect for beginners. Click on the video thumbnail to watch.

I used the following Copic Colors:

Plane: YR00, YR02, YR07, E15, E18
Banner: Y38, Y35, Y15
Skin: E000, E00, E11, E21, E04, R20
Scarves: R32, R35, R37, R39
Tires & Landing Gear: C1, C3, C5, C9
Man's Shirt: BV00, BV02, BV08, BV13
Woman's Shirt: Y38, Y35, E15, E18
Propeller: C5, C3, C1
Goggles: B000, Tombow Drawing Pen 02
Earings: Karin Marker-Metallic Gold

This is a fun set to work with and has a lot of options. Thanks for stopping by!
