You've Got Real Style

Hi Bloggers.

A very girly card today. I used to love Thunderbirds when I was little and when I saw the Rolls Royce on the stamp set I thought I could pretend it was Lady Penelope's although the style is a bit different.

For the main background I placed the Grid Mask at a jaunty angle onto some hot pink card and spritzed the Black Night misting ink from the Cosmic Shimmer Winter Garden Misting Inks Set. You can use the ink on the mask to create another background if you wish or just wash it off the mask with water.

I placed some Coconut White Card inside the Creative Expressions Brick Embossing Folder and ran it through the Grand Calibur. I tore around the edges and inked all over with Black Soot Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the image from the Creative Expressions Dream Cars Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured it in using Matt Drawing Inks. I used Mallow and Black Night from the Summer Fayre Set. I cut it out using the Out of the Box technique and Spellbinders Labels Twenty-Eight.

First I positioned the die over the image. I drew around the die with a pencil.

I then cut around the part of the image which was outside the pencil line plus a little further in. I slid the die underneath the part of the image that I'd cut around and lined the rest of the die up over the pencil line.

Here's what it looked like at the back -

Then I popped the imaged through the Grand Calibur to cut & emboss as usual.

I cut a larger Labels Twenty-Eight out of black card.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set again using the Jet Black Archival and embossed with the clear powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Ribbon Banners and inked through the die with Black Soot Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam

I threaded some Black & White Baker's Twine through an Idea-ology Shabby Accoutrement, added a Creative Expressions Tassel and tied a bow.

I assembled the card as shown adding some bling with a Creative Expressions Black Swirl and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Black Pearl around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.
