Vroom

Hi Bloggers.

Today I'm sharing one of the demo cards from Wednesday's shows.

I made my own background using some of the stamps and masks on the show. I started with a piece of Milk Card. I popped the Retro Circles Mask on top and spritzed some Jade Teal from the Nature's Gift Cosmic Shimmer Misting Inks Set and then I spritzed some Moss Green from the Winter Garden Set. I removed the mask and washed it and dried the background. I then used the Bubblewrap stamp (not on the block, just in my hand) with Forest Moss Distress Ink and stamped randomly over the background. I repeated this process with the Newsprint stamp and Black Soot Distress Ink.

Next I stamped the Justrite Chevron Striped Background on a separate piece of Milk Card using Jet Black Archival. I cut out an arch using the Spellbinders Labels Twenty-Eight. I distressed the edges with my scissors and then inked them with Black Soot using Cut n Dry Foam. I placed some Idea-ology Journeyman Tissue Tape on my craft sheet and then rubbed some Peeled Paint Distress Stain over it, dried it and added it to my Chevron Arch/Tunnel.

I stamped the image from the Creative Expressions Classic Cars Stamp Set using the Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured it in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks. I used Jade Teal from the Garden Twist Set and Black Night from the Summer Fayre Set.

I cut a ribbon banner out of Milk Card using Spellbinders Ribbon Banners Large and inked around the edges while still in the die with Black Soot. I then added the word 'Vroom' using Idea-ology Ransom Alpha Parts.

I coloured some Creative Expressions Antique Silver Faux Screw Brads with a Black Promarker (you could also use Alcohol Ink) and added them to the corners of my background.

I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Black Pearl around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.
