This card was made for the Ways To Use It Challenge, WT474 - Got Wind? (4/10/14). The challenge was to use the wind in some way. Yikes, that is not an easy challenge!
I'm hoping that I conveyed the sensation of wind with the banner trailing in back of Snoopy's plane. I tried to show that it was fluttering in the breeze by cranking it up with a stack of dimensionals in the center & curling the tail of the banner. The clouds are stacked in such a way as to show the air movement in the upper atmosphere....at least that was my intention! Like I said, wind is not an easy thing to convey with a few pieces of paper and some stamps.
I was asked to come up with a "cool" birthday card for our new pastor. He was a pilot in his younger years and still has a passion for airplanes. Hopefully this will bring a smile to his face when it is presented to him.
One of the real challenges for making this card was taking a photo! The card needed to be delivered to a friend asap so she could take it to a church meeting for people to sign. Wouldn't you know, right when I needed to take some photos the natural light went ucky in my photo shoot area (also known as my work table!). Tell me I'm not the only one who struggles with this. Please!
Thank you kindly for flying by to look at Snoopy!

What a fun card...and you nailed it with the wind images. The bright blue sky with the clouds looks great. I know what you mean about the light. Sometimes the hardest part about making a card is taking a photo of it. You did an awsome job.
