The optional theme was "portrait" and I suppose one could say this was a portrait of an airplane.
The base card is Basic Black card stock, layered with Marina Mist and then a retired DSP that looks like mountain ranges from the sky.
In the upper center I die cut the complete circle of the sliding star framelits - so the airplane can make a complete circle in the sky. This was die cut through the DSP and the layering Marina Mist card stock.
In order for the airplane to spin in this track, it is important to use a double layer of the shaker card tape. So this was placed behind the center circle as well as the perimeter of the track. Another tip -do not to place the tape too close to the track or else plane will catch on the tape and not spin.
The plane was stamped separately on a piece of Very Vanilla, colored with a Marina Mist marker and cut out. Two itty bitty flowers were punched in Vellum, adhered together alternating their petals and added to the propellers.
Two pennies were adhered together using two layers of dimensionals, and then added to the plane with another dimensional.
A couple of clouds were stamped, colored with a smoky slate marker and then cut out. These were adhered to the center of the circle.
Wink of Stella (clear) applied to the plane wings and body.
At the bottom are 3 banners notched at one end - a basic black, one smoky slate and a marina mist banner upon which the sentiment is stamped.
