Uniquely Creative Drive and Fly Masculine Birthday Card

 

Hi everyone 😊

I made another masculine birthday card for my stash whilst I still had the Uniquely Creative Drive and Fly Papers and Creative Cuts out on my desk:

Because I am still learning how to make these types of layering cards, I used a somewhat similar layout that Maria Aloisi did on her card in the matching Uniquely Creative magazine - however, I put on my own spin on it and you probably wouldn't recognise the layout unless I pointed it out.  I think that it is important to acknowledge where our inspiration comes from even if the card turns out significantly different to the original.  Maria's card has a car and car elements on it but I wanted to use plane elements.

The card base is Kraft Cardstock by Kaisercraft.  I used a Uniquely Creative Checker Plate Stencil and Weathered Wood Distress Ink to stencil the top left and bottom right.  Another thing in my Craft Room that I am determined to use more is stencils.  The blue cardstock on the card base is by Kaisercraft - Dusty Blue.

The writing is a stamp by Uniquely Creative called Longhand.  I stamped it onto one of the designer papers using Stampin' Up Lost Lagoon Ink then cut it up into three pieces then went around the edges with my Ink Blending Tool and the same ink.

The Kraft Cardstock underneath the writing was dry embossed using my Big Shot and Uniquely Creative Tiny Stars Embossing Folder.  I swiped over the top of the panel using Weathered Wood Ink in a fairly haphazard way to make it look a bit distressed

The main image panel is another piece of designer Paper.  I went around the edges using Weathered Wood Ink.  The plane is from the Creative Cuts and all the other bits and pieces are either Creative Cuts or images trimmed from the Designer Paper.  I popped up the main image panel on scraps of white cardstock but there isn't a huge amount of dimension on the rest of the card which you can see in this photo:

I added some subtle glitter to the pale green, orange and blue stars using my Uniquely Creative Clear Glitter Brush which gave a bit of life to the card.  I did pop up those stars on 0.5mm dimensionals.

Hope you like my card!  Thanks for stopping by!
