Good Morning everyone.
Its time for the first challenge of the year over at Cardz4guyz with the theme for the next 2 weeks being
Trains, Planes and/or Automobiles
So a good theme for start with alot of scope. I made this card for my brothers birthday last week.
I first made a card 6x6 cardblank from a lovely pre-embossed ivory cardstock. I covered the front in a brown and cream paper with a travel theme. Using the same ivory card i used for the base i used curved border dies on the bottom edge and cut a panel to cover 3/4 of the cardfront. I die cut an oval into the middle and then added it to the front with foam tape.
I then die cut a map pattern paper with the same oval die and glued it into the oval aperture. I added a small strip of the brown paper to the top edge and added die cut screw tops to the corners.
I stamped the vintage car stamp onto cream and then a pale red paper, i paper pieced the red version onto the cream version and then cut the whole car out and added to the middle of the oval.
Ive had this paper pad for years, nice to get to use a few papers from it on the same project. The vintage car stamp is also eons old, so good to start the new crafting year using up some very old products!
