Special Delivery

Here's my card for this month's Mix It Up Challenge at SugarPea Designs.  I combined a pretty loose interpretation of the sketch with elements from the inspiration photo (love theme and color scheme) for this simple design. 

I represented the lines on the sketch with the paper airplane image from the Special Delivery stamp set.  For contrast, I cut the plane from pale gray cardstock and shaded it a bit with Copic markers before die cutting the image and adhering it to the white panel with the gray stamped flight trail extending behind it.  I stamped the set's "special delivery" sentiment beneath it in pink ink, then used the same ink to add a trio of hearts above the plane.  A trio of gray enamel dots were scattered around the images and sentiment as an accent.  I matted the panel on pale pink cardstock, then adhered it to a darker pink card base.  I'm happy to report that I've already sent this one off to a recipient--my friend's middle school age daughter received it for Valentine's Day!
