High Flying Ace

It's a bird! It's a plane!......errr nope it's Lg. Flying Ace from High Hopes Rubber Stamps getting ready to hit the skies in his vintage plane. Ace is perfect for Just Because, Sending Smiles, and Birthday cards to name a few! 
He is so fun to colour and just made me smile with his toothy grin and big thumbs up! 

After colouring Ace with alcohol markers, I hand fussy cut him and ran a black marker around the edge to get any white I had missed. Paper layers from an old Echo Park pad were perfect with fun modern and vintage airplanes and a pop of orange. I used a rectangle die to cut out the background to go behind Ace using a rectangle die and added some stitched clouds.
 I wanted an airplane element to put in the sky but I couldn't find anything airplane in my stash - gasp! So I took a piece of the airplane paper and fussy cut a vintage plane to put in the sky. I went with the vintage style, open cockpit plane because it ties in perfectly with Ace's scarf, helmet and goggles. Some enamel dots finish off my card.
