World's Best Dad
Hi there my crafty friends! I selected a piece of white card for the background. I cut a tapered strip of Slate grey card and added some white lines down the middle of it. I cut the Vintage Car die out of aqua card. I used a white pencil to shade the sides and a grey pencil to fill in the tires and bumper. I added mounting foam to the back of the car and attached it to the road. I cut a circle out of some card and sponged Mustard Seed distress ink through it to create a sun in the background. I cut the World's Best Dad sentiment in black and glued it to a white shadow backing piece. I added mounting foam to the back and seated it in the upper corner of the card. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8 1/4" in size.
Good Saturday morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, wow, I would have loved to make this for my Dad but sadly he is no longer with us in person, but it is a fabulous card, I like the colour choice of the car too, brilliant.
I am waiting for my dies to arrive so I can have a play.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
