So, July is a busy birthday month, so I'm sure I'll be posting several of these, but here's the birthday card for Mike's cousin, Joey. :) He loves to sky-dive, so the hubby asked if I'd make a sky-diving themed birthday card for him. I accepted the challenge and ended up with this:
I didn't have any silver paper, so I just used regular computer paper and a silver sharpie for the parts on the plane. I cut out the shape of the plane using computer paper and then cut out the wings and the nose and put them on separately, so they pop out a little bit. The little sky diver is black marker and the face/helmet/goggles are glued on so they kind of pop out as well. For the sky, I used a brush and blue food coloring to "paint" the paper. Then, I ripped it and put pieces together, making it look like the clouds were coming through as well. Throw in some letter stickers, and you got the front.
Here's a little closer view of it. :)
The inside said: "Once you have tasted flight, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards for there you have been and there you long to return."--Leonardo da Vinci. :) I just cut out paper clouds and used a crayon to add shadow and depth to them. I used the left over sky parts from the front as well.
Ta-Da!
