Valentine's Card No. 5

My husband works at Boeing.  His first word was "plane".  We do a lot of airplane themed things in our lives.  Kieran had a great many baby items with planes on them.  There might be a Lego 787 model atop one of our bookcases.  You get the idea.  So, I use this little airplane with heart contrail stamp often for Valentine's day.  Here, I first used an embossing folder on the yellow to make a sun like background.  Then, I stamped the plane.  I did liquid appliqué over the contrail.  Once heated, it puffs up like clouds (or snow).  It's a useful little embellishment product.    I stamped the plane a second time on a scrap piece of cardstock, colored it, cut it out with detail scissors, and applied it directly over the same image stamped on the yellow.  I die cut the clouds out of pink gingham.  I was going for an overall Valentine's sort of color theme, but I was also thinking of a sunset or sunrise with the pink clouds.  I used mounting tape to pop the clouds up for dimension and then added the sentiment and little jewel stickers.  The inside says, "happy valentine's day".
