All Geared Up To Celebrate
Hello crafters! I embossed a piece of white card using the Metal Effect stencil. I cut the screwdriver border from the Assorted Tool Border set four times out of black card. I glued them around the edge of the embossed background to create a faux frame. Using the cog border twice from the same set, I cut it out of brushed silver card and nipped it apart to create four corners and glued them into place. From the Classic Car die set, I cut the Volkswagen out of aqua card and tried to make it look like the Love Bug (from the old movie) by adding flowers to it, cut from the Blossom Patch die set. I added it with mounting foam. I cut the All Geared Up To Celebrate sentiment out of aqua card and matted it onto the shadow backing die cut in white. I added it above the card with mounting foam. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7" in size.
Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh this is gorgeous, it reminds me of the 60's when flower power was all the rage, love the way you have done the card, brings back so many memories.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Good Morning Sue and all that visit this morning. Ohhh Yes this is lovely. In my opinion this card would be great for a young lady who has just passed her driving test. She would be so happy that she had achieved the pass ... And then to receive this beautiful card ..... She would be over the moon. Thankyou Sue. Another classic card. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds
