Up, up and away....

Well another weekend has flown by.  It was hubby's birthday today.  Went out for an indian meal last night with some good friends of ours.  Hubby drank a little too much red wine so had a quiet day today to let him recover.
Here is the card I made for him.

My hubby loves anything to do with flying whether it be planes, hot air balloons or even spacecraft.  So when I spotted this Hero Arts stamp set it was ideal.  The images were stamped onto white card.  I distressed around the edges to soften, matted onto Coredinations cardstock and added some faux stitching in white.  I also added a little ribbon knot at the bottom of each image.
The backing papers used were all from Tim Holtz.  The brown paper image is from a fab Tim Holtz kraft resist paper pad and features a world map, although you can't see too much of it due to the images covering it.  As it was a card from me I wanted to add some flowers but nothing too fussy.  I made these out of coredinations cardstock and added some twirls out of cardstock too.  The ribbon is some seam binding that I coloured with distress ink.  A couple of sentiments and gems completed the card.
