UP & AWAY ON YOUR BIRTHDAY

It's my BIL's Birthday today (waving at you!!) and he is a total plane nut!!  So when it came to designing his Birthday card - it had to have a plane on it!!  Unfortunately this set (Sentiment Journey) is retired, but I can still play with it myself!

I got out my trusty sponges and cloud template and created the clouds in Bashful Blue and Marina Mist, after first masking off the plane contrail.  I then stamped the plane image and sentiment in Basic Black.  I kept the rest of the card simple with plain matting in Basic Black, the Word Window Punch for a little side detail and the addition of White Brads for some embellishment.

Of course, I think a card is made just that much more special when you carry the theme to the inside too.  Again I sponged just a few clouds around two sides,, leaving room for a message to be written.  I have no doubt that he will love this card!  I get such a kick out of tailoring a card for a specific person.

I hope you had a wonderful day BIL!!

    Wowsers! I always seem to run out of steam before doing the inside ... and usually resort to a paper insert. (stamped ... of course!) But ... this is just fabbo ... and the inside is the icing on the cake! Hugs xxaxx
