But this is a papercrafting blog, so where exactly does George Clooney fit in? I was over on Pinterest the other day and I saw this movie poster for George Clooney's movie, Up In the Air. It's hard to believe that a movie promoting Mr. Clooney wouldn't have his twinkling eyes prominently featured. But this was a sparse little poster and I loved the design. I especially loved those cute little clouds made from hearts. Aren't they adorable?
I immediately knew I would use the heart clouds somewhere on a paper crafting project and I thought they worked perfectly for this little valentine of a card. I've had this sentiment in my head for awhile and when I saw this orange bicycle sticker from Echo Park, I knew that was just the thing I needed. I love blue and orange paired together.
For the backdrop, I use a fun pattern from Echo Park's Happy Days line. I wanted the bicyle and the heart clouds to pop a bit against the background, so I white washed the patterned paper a bit with some thin acrylic paint. I used heart punches to make the clouds then sewed them on the card to make them look a bit puffy. The sun sticker had a sentiment that didn’t fit the card, so I covered the wording by adding a plain yellow circle on top and inking the edges orange.
To finish the card, I wrote a sentiment with letter stickers. So, now I'm thinking I should send this card off to George....afterall, I really do bike him.
