Little Pilot by Nicky

Using the colours from the Little Pilot image just coloured I created a background to tone with it.  I blended a panel using Distress Oxide Inks in Shaded Lilac, Seedless Preserves, Blueprint Sketch and Chipped Sapphire.   I splashed the background with water and blotted it up with a paper towel immediately.

I hit the panel with my heat gun to speed up drying and then I stamped the sentiment from Maverick by Hello Bluebird Stamps using Versamark Ink and heat embossed in white.   I die cut the frame using the Gallery Frame #4 die also from Hello Bluebird.  I backed this with a single foam tape layer and applied it to the background.   I inverted the Little Pilot image on a cork mat and using a round end on my stylus I made circular movements over the image but avoiding the edges.   This makes the image curve, look nicely 3D and since I was applying a double layer of foam tape, it hides the tape underneath when viewed from an angle.  The whole panel was applied to my sturdy white cardstock card base.
