My first intinct was to drag out the flourishes and flowers again for this layout, but then I thought of all the little boy birthday cards that I need through the year. So instead of florals, I reached for SU! By Air. I love this set, which is similar to By Land, with obvious differences. It is the first time I have inked the spaceship. I used Versamark and clear embossed it on navy paper. The weathered brown panel is from CTMH, and the panels under the sentiment are from my stash. They were part of a RAK and I don't have the paper name. The sentiment is stamped freehand (can you tell?) with letter stamps from Target. You would never know that I really DID use the Stamp-a-ma-jig! Oh well, the letters look like they are floating in space, right?
The stars are eyelets from my stash, covering up a botched embossing job (I'll spare you the details). Now I just have to remember this is in my stash when the next birthday rolls around :)
OK, off to the post office, the bank, the pharmacy, and maybe to Target. Or maybe Barnes and Noble to treat myself to a Cafe Mocha? Decisions...
Thanks for looking!
