Inspiration needed !
Good Morning all and White Giraffes! OK, white rabbits - I just wanted to be different. The sun is shining here and there is no sign of rain - yet.I have a card to make for a friend and need some inspiration.
He will be 76yrs on Friday, is from Newcastle, was in the RAF and has no hobbies ! Previously I have done cards with planes and maps, black/white cards with Newcastle F C emblems, cards with pictures of the Tyne bridges - now I have run out of ideas. Help !!

Or get a loan of a tank off Uncle Joe.Seriously Silver, had he got one of those famous RAF moustaches like Jimmy Edwards?, maybe you could incorporate it into the card, those lads were very proud of their moustaches and took great care over them.

Re: Inspiration needed !
Thanks for all the suggestions. Here is the card:-Made from Air Force blue card stock, I made the backing paper using the two most most recognised RAF insignia, added a photo of his favourite aircraft - Wellington bomber. Found a ribbon of the right colours but, as Eric Morcambe would say, not necessarily in the right order !
Inside - I used a line drawing of the Wellington.
