Up In The Air

.......thats the challenge at The Male Room this morning, but there is a catch...No Birds! Every time I went to search for a stamp I kept finding bird ones! I turned the problem over to my two eldest children, home for the summer from university, and their brains are obviously much sharper (younger definitely) than mine as they came up with loads of ideas. The one I finally went with was Fred's. He even helped me with printing the digital image I used.

I had already decided to use the cloud embossing folder. I printed the airplane image, fussy cut it out and stamped the sentiment from Fabulous Four, which I chose simply because I thought it fitted well with the design.

I split the sentiment up to make a banner for the 'plane and placed the rest on the layers. I did have a few tries at the embossing, the first time I sponged some blue ink over to make it more sky-like, but in the end went for a complete clean and simple look. You can see it better on the next photo.
