The Challenge #70

Hello everyone, how are you?  I'm happy to be sharing my card today for a new masculine inspiration photo at The Challenge!












To make this card I started by cutting out a bunch of planes from Reverse Confetti's Here We Go Confetti Cuts from shiny silver card stock.  When I was a girl we lived near a small, local airport and every summer the Blue Angels would come to perform.  I arranged the planes to make them look like they are flying in formation as an homage to that :)  Next I cut a piece of light gray card stock slightly wider than the silver piece and used a die from Edge Essentials Confetti Cuts to cut the holes on each side.  The word "dad" was cut from black card stock using Tie-Rific Confetti Cuts.  I cut the flag banner from Tag Me Confetti Cuts and stamped the sentiment from Tie-Rific on it.  This card was fun to make, but difficult to photograph because of the shine.  I really wanted to use the silver and black from the inspiration photo, along with the plane, and I'm very happy with how this turned out!

You don't have to go with a plane theme for this challenge, you'll be amazed with the creative cards the design team girls came up with so be sure to visit Lesley's blog and be inspired!
