Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge - Trend Watch




Welcome to my first Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge assignment!   It's Trend Watch week and this week's trend is The Sky is the Limit!  Clouds & sky, whether they are sunny or rainy, are so 'in' right now...


The picture shows a daytime sky but thought I would go a different route and try a night sky.  I love the skyline in Metropolis so though I would use it with my night time sky.  The clouds are from Metropolis too but didn't want the outline, so I stamped them on the wrong side of the paper and then fussy cut them.  The background is silver mist and I used a Copic marker on my windows.  Hope you like my shimmery, starry sky.


Check out the rest of the design team to see what amazing creations they have come up with.

All the details are on the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge blog.  You have until May 13th to play along.  I can't wait to see what you come up with!  The other set I considered using for this challenge was Sunny Side Up... just a little suggestion for you... ;)


Thanks for stopping by!  I appreciate your comments.

    Awesome card for your debut! I love the night scene and the way you coloured the windows yellow. So clever to stamp the clouds on the wrong side. I need to try that!

    Very cool! I didn't see the misting at first (I was staring at the super cool yellow windows!)--but the misting is an awesome detail. Hooray for you and your first SPARKS! :)
