The Kite brothers like their rhyming predecessors were full of determination and innovation. If they couldn't control air traffic, why not become air traffic? Although they were not fond of taking risks, they had learned something along the way. Orland knew firsthand that people were willing to pay to learn how to do something. Wilfred saw an uplifting special on the Hallmark Channel about George Herbert Walker Bush skydiving to celebrate his 75th birthday. Why not open a skydiving school? They could stay on the ground and pack parachutes while they hired pilots and jumpmasters to take their clients to new heights. And so, the Kite Brothers School of Air Traffic Out-of-Controllers was born.
The card turned out a bit more childlike than I had hoped, so I'll make sure to write a nice uplifting note inside...
Stamped Flourishes Clouds in Whisper White on a Bordering Blue card and brushed with PearlEx Macropearl. Stamped the back of the plane in Platinum Planet and clear embossed. Stamped banner in Memento Tuxedo Black. PC Generated the name. Cut the parachutist with Cricut and the parachute from felt. Applied to card and drew lines with a copic multiliner.
Thanks for looking and have a peaceful day.

Now this original and so very cute!!A wonderful idea!!
Just so you know, this isn't showing up in the MMTPT132 gallery, since you left off the 132. Just edit and add it and it will go into the Teapot gallery.

Great story to go with a very cool card - sure all that skydiving will interest Sean who loves all things in the sky from what we have heard. At least this is more believable than pigs and cows , but who cares - its all in the fun!! TFS
