Here Come the Boys Challenge No 48

One of the DH's colleagues has a birthday coming up soon.  He is interested in aeroplanes as well as steam trains and after searching through my stash I chose this digi.      
I watercoloured the background and then, after the paper had dried, coloured the figures with watercolour pencils, using metallic pencils for the aeroplanes.  I used backing papers from Paper Wishes (one of the folders containing these was dated 2005 so I suppose I should say they are out of my stash!!!).  The banner came from a Kanban kit that was also purchased some time ago - not quite ancient but close!


I am entering this card into Here Come The Boys Challenge #48  who are using an inspirational  picture collage which inspired me to make this card and then I shall post the card to R for his birthday.
