Plane Riley

Today’s card uses another Riley from Hanna Stamps!. This image is actually the first Riley I ever colored and after doing it I realized I’d rather have the antlers a different color, so my Easter Riley is how I’ll probably be coloring him from now on. I knew as soon as I saw this guy that I had to have him because that blank banner is the perfect spot for any saying! I also saw someone else paper piece the airplane and I thought it was the cutest idea! All the patterned paper is from a big slab of My Mind’s Eye that I got from Costco ages ago.

After coloring, I masked Riley with Eclipse tape and sponged the clouds with an old stencil I had. I didn’t mask the little clouds so they got some blue ink on them. To cover it up, I simply drew inside them with a white paint pen and I like the little bit of texture it gave. I added on the PP pieces last and you can just barely tell that I also stamped the propeller part again on white cardstock and left the blades loose for a little dimension.

You can be sure this image will turn up again since he is an all-occasion moose!
