Who said cars were just for men?

Hi Bloggers.

I'm a bit wary of sharing this card with you as it's green and yellow and I know you guys aren't too keen on this colour combo. But, I'm really pleased with how this one turned out. I wanted to show that you can make girly cards with the stamp sets on the shows tomorrow. I was teasing Kathryn that I'd just made her 25th birthday card! I'm going to try really hard to keep it safe for the next 7 years and give it to her! Don't expect I'll manage it.

Anyway, here's the card -

For the background, I covered a piece of Coconut White Card with Peeled Paint Distress Stain. I dried it with my heat tool and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the the Creative Expressions Bark Embossing Folder. I sanded it to reveal the white core.

I stamped the image from the Creative Expressions Classic Cars Stamp set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured the image in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks. I used Sunflower and Black Night from the Summer Fayre Set. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels Twenty-Six and inked through the die with Forest Moss Distress Ink.

I cut a Spellbinders Sprial Blosson Three out of Scattered Straw Distress Colorcore and cut a 'leaf' out of Peeled Paint Distress Colorcore using the Venetian Motifs die set.

I added an Idea-ology Plaquette.

I assembled the card as shown, piercing around the edges with my Tim Holtz Ruler.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
