Fly Away!!

Hello Monday!!.... at least we're still on Easter hols here so no rushing about going on in this house :0)

I was inspired by the talented design team at CAS(e) this sketch when I needed to make a card this weekend for a family member who's retiring overseas very soon.....


It's occasions like this when I'm so glad I make cards because I'm not sure I'd find something so bespoke in the shops!!!
I went through many ideas before settling on this simple design... gotta love vellum for its ability to add detail whilst remaining translucent although it can be it's downfall too!!! That swoosh of vellum wasn't wanting to play nicely and lay flat so those clouds hide small pieces of adhesive tape to fix that problem !!!

This card fits nicely in with the Far Away challenge at Addicted to Cas too :0)
                                  

Apologies for the fuzziness of the photo!!....I didn't realise until I was editing it that the camera had just randomly decided to reset the settings I usually use :0(
Thanks for stopping by :0)
