SISTER STASH - All occasion card with an airplane, eyelets and blue green duplex paper

Still getting the cards I made for my sister blogged here.  She left some paper crafting supplies here a while back after I agreed to make some cards for her with them.  It was good to get quite a few made!!  
This one features a colour printed image of an airplane which I down loaded off of CLKER.  I chose this blue green paper to go with my image and because it was double sided I trimmed out the middle section and flipped it and put the pieces back together with regular tape.  Wanting to add a bit more interest I used a zigzag stamp (Hero Arts) and dark blue ink to stamp on the line where the papers join.  I really like how it looks and will have to keep that process in mind.  I have several other "stitch" stamps which would be effective is other situations.  I adhered the decorative paper to a coordinating blue card and used a scrap to mat my image.  I added pewter eyelets in the corners and then mounted this focal element to my card using 3D foam tape.  To finish off my card I added a border around my background using a clear glitter pen.
