All Geared Up To Celebrate

Hello crafters!  I selected a piece of black gloss card for today's background.  Using the Assorted Tool Borders, I cut the border with the tools linked end to end out of black card nine times.  I glued them along the background from top to bottom all the way across the black gloss card.  Next I used the Double Stitched Rectangles and cut a frame out of black gloss card.  I added mounting foam to the back of it and attached it to a piece of milk card.  I cut the Volkswagon Beetle from the Classic Car die set out of taupe card.  I used a pencil to add in all the detail and a white pencil to add some highlights to the car.  I added it inside the frame with mounting foam.  I cut the All Geared Up To Celebrate sentiment in black and added it to a milk card shadow.  I seated the sentiment below the car.  The card was completed with milk and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  7 1/2"  in size.

Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a great male card, I especially like the accuracy of the tools that are on the die, it is a perfect backdrop for the wonder card.

Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
