I made this card expressly for my cousin, his heart's desire is to go to Naval Academy and fly as long as he doesn't get too tall!
So truthfully I bought this set from Clear Dollar Stamps specifically with him in mind because whether or not his dreams come true he will always love airplanes.
I made a tonal background using London Fog and Tuxedo Black in my Memento inks, alternating colors and stamps to get a masculine feel. I colored the focal image with Copics and plenty of color to ensure it stood out. I matted it on the black and put it to the background and it just seemed to swim on the page. I decided I needed to break up the background so I adhered the black strip across. That really made it much better. I put the card together adding a bit of masculine bling with the silver brads on the corners of the main image. It was still a bit blah. So I decided to use the "Happy Birthday" stamp from another Clear Dollar Stamps set (I think Classic Cruisin) and round them so they were like little message clouds. Hope you like.
