Dad's Birthday Card


It was my Dad's birthday a couple of weeks ago. Here's a card designed especially for him! Car is from Stamp-It (Australia) and the Harlequin pattern is from Hero Arts. Birthday Wishes stamp is a clear stamp from Inkadinkado. Deep brown and red cardstock along with striped paper have been used. Technique - stamped the car in pinecone versacolor ink and then masked it. Then stamped harlequin pattern over the top with burgundy versacolor ink. Sponged some vanilla versacolor ink over the harlequin pattern with a tissue to get an aged look. Stamped car again and clear embossed on another piece of cardstock and then cut out and put over the top of the base image with magic mount (it's a bit hard to see the extra dimension in the scanned photo).

I'm pretty happy with how this card turned out. Boys cards can be hard to do!!

Sorry about how this displays on the blog with all the blank space below the image. Will have to work out how to crop this out.

Great masculine card!

Your stamp sheets went postal on Tuesday. I've never sent anything to Australia before, so I have no idea how long it'll be before you can start to stalk the mail man... ;-)
