Hi everyone,

Here is my project for this week!  It’s not what I had planned to show you but after the lovely lady Mary Ellis passed away last week, I felt this Stamp was perfect for her.

I grew up close to RAF Kenley, an active station during WW2 although only gliders fly from there now.  I spent many hours playing in and out of the old air raid shelters (wouldn’t be allowed today) and was very aware of their important use during the war.  My dad loved the the old aircraft and one day  I intend to have a flight in a Spitfire for him as he would have loved it. 

This year is the Centenary of the RAF and last week we lost a lady who was one of a number of women pilots responsible for flying the aircraft around the country to different airfields.  She reached the great age of 101 years and had many stories to tell!  An amazing lady who flew all sorts of aircraft during and after the war finished.

So my project this time is a tribute to her and the RAF.  Hope you like it!

I started by stamping the image with Memento Ink and colouring with Copics....

What we do without google!  Lots of RAF images gave me what I needed to make a background collage....

Start building up your collage.  My mounts were blue, red and white although the blue hadn’t come out very well in the photo!

Finish by adding your image and text...

Speshink Design Team - Louise - The Aviator

Morning all, Today we have a clever card made by Louise Using the Speshink Aviator Stamp.

                                                            Stamps available HERE.

Masking stamps and over stamping can leave great results and add extra depth to a project.

Here is what Louise has to say xx.

Well i thought i needed to start using a lot more colour so here are my rainbow helmets 

1. Taking a A4 sheet of white card i folded it in half and using the Aviator stamp and black versafine stamped her down on the right hand side of the card leaving off the collar

2. taking a mask made from a post-it note of the aviator I covered up the first image. Then dropping the stamp down again, Stamped  to the right of the image, overlapping the first image.

3. I continued overlapping and dropping the stamp using the mask to achieve 4 images of the aviator along the card.

4. I used prismacolour pencils and blended with a blending pen keeping to rainbow shades

5.The phrase "NEVER WAS SO MUCH OWED BY SO FEW" was stamped onto paper with dovecraft apha stamps DCVWOOSO  cut out and modge podged down.
