Masculine Airplane Card with Faux Metal Gears with VIDEO TUTORIAL for Little Birdie Crafts

Welcome to my creative space!

My dad served in the Air Force, so when I saw this fabulous vintage airplane in Little Birdie Crafts Classic Gentleman collection, I knew I would be creating a card for him featuring this amazing paper. I combined this gorgeous airplane image with industrial embellishments. Some are metal and some are diecut from chipboard with the Cogs and Wheels die set that have been transformed with metallic paints into grungy metallic beauties with a patina finish.

The metal embellishments are from Tim Holtz and the Dad sentiment is embossed with Tim's Typewriter 3-D Texture Fade which are so perfect for the industrial vibe I wanted to achieve. Distress Ink is used to enhance add patina to the background paper.

Enjoy!
