I made a boy's birthday card for my great-nephew who is turning 6. I went for a very quick and simple card 'cos I lost a week with my DD being sick, followed by me - and then got my dates all mixed up - somehow I was a week behind - and the card HAD to be in the mail today!! Eeek!
Anyway, there isn't much to explain about my card. I coloured the paper aeroplane with 2 different blue Bic Mark-It textas: Oceanview blue and Blue Skies. I pierced a hole for the Making Memories sparkly red star brad with my paper piercer (including piercing my finger up underneath the nail bed - ouchy ouchy - lots of blood and it's very, very sore - don't try that at home, will you?!!).
I thought I would use my Sizzix Textured Impressions Stars and Swirls ef on the Kraft cs as it just seemed to match the image perfectly and then tied on the airmail twine which also seemed to suit the whole "flying" theme. I love it when a card comes together easily {happy sigh.......} :-)
I'm also popping this card into the Cards for Men Challenge Blog and Challenge #7 is "Embossing" where they want to see some embossing on your card. I have links and more deets on my Blog.
