Sweet November Preview - Mia's Kite

***This is my second post for the day. Please scroll down for my C.C. Designs for All That Scraps preview.***

Welcome to day three of May previews featuring Sweet November for All That Scraps. Some of my favorite characters, the Fairwees are back again this month!

When I saw Mia's Kite, I immediately thought that Mia was so small and dainty that surely she would wind up riding along with the kite if a good wind caught it. In picturing her floating in the sky, an idea was born. Using the largest cloud in the My Favorite Things Jumbo Cloud Stax, I cut two pieces from white cardstock for the card base and one from the gorgeous cloud background paper by Doodlebug for the card front. I also cut two more sizes of white clouds from the same set from Copics X-Press it cardstock and then the sun die from Lil Inker's Designs from yellow cardstock. I secured the medium size cloud onto the card front with temporary adhesive and then stamped my image insuring that most of the kite portion of the image was positioned onto the cloud so it could be colored. I then stamped the Mia portion of the image onto Copics. After coloring both images, I then fussy cut out Mia. Using the original stamping on the card front as a guide, I attached the cloud and Mia, placing a dimensional dot underneath her head. I stamped the sentiment from the also new AmyR Sunny Sentiments onto the smallest of clouds and then placed both on the card front, slipping the sun in between the card base and front.  I realized the sun might be a bit vulnerable to damage so I decided to cut another to adhere to the back of it for additional stability.  I decided to add more color while I was at it by die cutting with orange cardstock and then offsetting it slightly when gluing to the back of the original one.
