These old fashioned airplanes are difficult to cut out. I am not very good with an exacto knife, but I am better than I used to be!! So there is hope for me yet!!

Wow - that is a lot of fiddly cutting! You did a great job.
I've seen a dandy little exacto knife that has a loop that fits over your finger. It has great control and is easier on your hands. My mother also uses one of those pencil cushions on her exacto knife so she has a more comfortable grip.
This is a beautiful card! I love the dimension, texture and layout. Great job!
