Guest Designer for The Male Room Challenge #186 - Planes, Trains & Automobiles


Hello everyone.  Can’t believe it’s May already!  I’m delighted to be guest designing (GD) this month at The Male Room (TMR) for their challenge #186 - Planes, Trains & Automobiles.

please note: affiliate links were used in this post when possible at no extra cost to you… thank you. 

I had the never-befire-used (NBUS) Paper Plane Pals stamp and matching die sets from Time for Tea Designs (T4TD) for years, so was excited to finally play with them to create this fun card.  


The panda and paper plane images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on X-Press It paper and quickly coloured/shaded with Copic Sketch markers R05/27/39 and C00/1/3/5 before die cutting them out.  The sentiment from Hello Bluebird Maverick stamp set was heat embossed with white embossing powder on black cardstock then trimmed to a strip.


The background is Bristol paper ink blended with Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon, Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass distress inks over Through the Clouds stencil (NBUS and retired already 😆) from My Favorite Things (MFT) and It’s Cloudy stencil from Whimsy Stamps.  It was then die cut out with a MFT A2 Stitched Rectangle Set 1 die.  Die cut the MFT In Stitches Lowercase alphabet letters from black cardstock then assembled the card onto a split black/white card base to finish.  The image was popped up with 2mm foam adhesives for dimension. 


I would like to thank Helen and TMR team for the GD opportunity.  For full details, more inspirations from the design team and/or to link up your entry, click HERE.  Thank you for stopping by.
