Have a Classy Day

Hi Bloggers.

I thought I'd share a car card with you today.I gave this to Kathryn's boyfriend for his 18th so I hope I can remember how I made it!

I had fun with the background. I used Milk Card. I think I used Walnut Stain Distress Ink to stamp the Justrite Chevron Stripe Stamp randomly over the card. I also stamped the Creative Expressions Bubblewrap Stamp using Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink and there's the Creative Expressions Newsprint Stamp which I may have stamped with Coffee Archival. I also added some splats of Chipped Sapphire Distress Stain.

I stamped the image from the Creative Expressions Dream Cars Stamp Set using Coffee Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured it in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks and cut it out using the 'Out of the Box' technique (see this post ) with Spellbinders Curved Rectangles. I inked through the die with Chipped Sapphire. I added a mat cut from a larger rectangle and inked through the die with Vintage Photo Distress Ink (I think!).

I stamped the sentiment using Coffee Archival and embossed with clear powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Back to Basics Tags and inked through the die. I cut another couple of tags out - one using brown card and at the emboss stage I added a mask (can't think which one - sorry!) then I inked it with Chipped Sapphire. For the other one I stamped the Justrite Harlequin Script stamp using Chipped Sapphire and then cut it out. I spaced them out and added a Creative Expressions Faux Screw Brad in Antique Copper.

I assembled the card as shown adding a couple of buttons with some baker's Twine tied through them and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Choco Brown.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
