....SOAR!



It's the adage on the

 TICKET 

I chose to use for this weeks challenge at

I wanted to find a quote that explained how I felt while making this card!

Imagination allows us to escape the predictable.
It enables us to reply to the common wisdom that we cannot soar by saying, "Just watch!"

Bill Bradley

I have to say I love the texture and weight of Donna Salazar's papers in the Antiquities Pad! I gathered the papers and piece parts I wanted to used.

I cut the background paper to the size of the Canvas Corp Card. I then spritzed it with water, front and back and squinched the paper. When I had the look I was wanting to achieve, I dried the paper.



I did the same with the cut piece of denim and lace.
I love this technique as the paper seems to change and be stiffer after it is dry.

For my flower I pulled out my Spellbinders ~ Spiral Blossom 1 die. I sanded the edges and rolled the flowers. I then shaped and smooooshed it!!


I cut the leaves from the left over background paper.....
spritz them with Smooch, formed and stapled them. 


I love how my bird came out.......the element to emphasis "SOAR".
I applied a bit of Gathered Twigs to him, smothered him in Glue Gloss and
sprinkled him with Fairy Dust!!

What makes your heart SOAR.......
include a ticket on your creation and link it up to
Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge blog!!

Who knows.......your name could be drawn to win this loverly!!
