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…

 
Baby Michael’s nursery is decorated in airplanes and the colors are tan, blue, and white. I thought I’d give you a little peek into my creative process. 
I knew I wanted to add some clouds and a sun. I cut the sun and clouds from the Artiste Cricut cartridge. The sun is cut at 3-1/2″ to coordinate with the sun stamp in the My Sunshine stamp set (a previous Stamp of the Month). The clouds are cut at 3 different sizes, I forget the exact measurements. I also cut the letters for his name with Artiste.

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

Clouds & blue letters: My Mind’s Eye Fly a Kite paper pad
Chevron: I forget! 
Here’s the finished product once more…

I hope you enjoyed…have a crafty day!
