Flying By Birthday

My DS's birthday is coming up in a couple weeks and he adores helicopters. Maybe mom is finally getting on the ball and getting his card ready AHEAD of time...lol! This is a real shocker!!!!! My DS and I love this Digi Image by Sunshine Stamps. I printed this image on GP cardstock from WalMart and colored it with copics. The first couple of times I tried didn't work so, I let it sit for at least a couple hours instead of rushing as usual and voila!
