Paper Plane


My daughter asked me to make a card for her friend's new husband. I don't think she knows him very well because all she could tell me was that he's in the RAF and she suggested I could make a card with a plane on it. It took me several hours thinking time and trawling through rubber, digi , CDs , until I came up with this - so I hope it's right!

I used  paper plane and trail stamps from Lawn Fawn and a Papermania map stamp.

I'd like to enter:

Me again - saw that the map is actually made using a stamp. It definitely has to go on my wish list!
