The background is from an old encyclopedia, liberally distressed with TH vintage photo - as was the edges of the striped paper. I cut a star from a piece of left over music paper and went over this with old paper DI then matted it on to silver mirri.
The circle sentiment was made in Publisher and I attached it to some strands of thick cotton thread - or is it thin string :-) dyed with stonewashed alcohol ink
The bi-plane image is a freebie from lovely Paulette at Create with TLC.
A great image for male cards. I have used it before but this time I printed it on canvas paper and added a little colour.
I am chuffed that Paulette approved of my efforts and has showed both cards on her TLC blog
