Growing in Unity 2021: Day 4

Wow!  I can't believe it is Thursday already.  That means I only have 2 more projects to share with you for my Growing in Unity week.  I hope you have enjoyed seeing some birthday cards I have made featuring Unity Stamps, and commenting on all the posts.  Don't forget, I will be choosing 2 commenters to win a $20 gift card from Unity Stamp Company.  If you missed any of my previous posts, you will find links to them at the bottom of this post.  

Remember yesterday when I said today's card would be my most "important" card of the week.  That is because my 6' "baby" turns 14 today.  I can't believe the one that made me a mom is already 14.  Time has flown by (no pun intended).  Kevin is very much a guy's guy, so I knew I wanted his card to reflect that.  

Here is his card: 


For Kevin's card, I used the 
For The Guys stamp set for the plane and it's banner.  I created the background using Distress Oxide inks, blended together to give the look of the sky.  Then I fussy cute the embossed plane and popped it up with pop-dots, and added the 14 to the background.  There is a white frame around all of it.  I love the clean and simple look, and I know Kevin will too when he opens it later today.

Here's what I used to make the background:



Don't forget to leave a comment on today's project for a chance to win a Unity Stamp Company gift card.  On Monday, March 29, I'll pick 2 random winners from the comments from all my posts.  If you missed any, click on the link(s) below:

  5. Your ink blending is awesome! I struggle with it. And I have the nice brushes for it. Anywho - love your card! It's so perfect for a guy of any age. And just an FYI of useless info (LOL), all of my nephews are 6 feet plus! They are aged 14 to 23. And of course, I'm a shrimp at only 5 feet.
