Masculine Birthday Card

I always seem to need masculine cards but very rarely have one ready to go when I need it. Today is my dad's birthday and since he works in the airplane industry I felt like this card would be appropriate for him.

I decided to create a scene beginning with the Frantic Stamper Spitfire plane die. I wanted a masculine paper for the plane, so as I was looking through my stash of papers, I found an old piece of map paper and thought I'd try that out.  I inserted gray cardstock in most of the pieces that cut out of the die for a little contrast and was happy with the final result.  For the sentiment I used a stamp from Frantic Stampers Wavy Banners & Greetings clear stamp set.  I really like how crisp & clear it stamped.

I cut my bokeh paper, that I felt made it look like it was flying at night, at an angle and backed it with black paper.  I die cut some clouds from the Village Sky set and added them to my sky background.  I popped the airplane up with dimensionals.  

 Thank you for visiting!
