Today's project is a 5.5" x 5.5" card I created for my oldest brother's 40th birthday. This card was super simple to make, but came out so cute (and looks like I spent way more time on it than I did). What's the trick to making a quick card look time-consuming/fancy? Layers. Lots of layers.
The patterned papers are all from an old Stampin' Up! 6 x 6 paper pad. After die cutting my clouds and airplane (MCT's Fly Away With Me Dies), I stamped the airplane (Fly Away With Me Stamp Set) on the cut-out and colored it with my Copics. I daubered around the clouds with some turquoise ink to make them
stand out a bit more. The sentiment from Fly Away With Me Sentiments was stamped onto the included banner die and everything was popped up one or more time. And I mean EVERYTHING! Pop dots were the only adhesive used on this card! The inside of the card simply says, "Happy Birthday!".

Great card I love the houses!
You are so right...It does look much more involved! I can see now that you only used white paper for all your cuts. What a brilliant way to conserve specialty papers. But, your images don't lack a thing. The background paper is the perfect foundation for this simple and fun card!
