Happy Birthday
Hello there my crafty friends! I started today's card by using the You're A Classic from the Vintage Cars stamp set. I stamped it randomly all over a piece of white card using a Black Archival ink pad. Next I used the Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide ink and inked around the edges of the card. I cut a multi-layered frame using the Double Stitched Rectangles. I cut a wider white base and added a thinner blue frame on top. In order to get the colours to match, I used the same ink on the thinner frame. I cut the vintage car out of card that I inked with the same distress ink colour. I used a fine tipped felt pen to add in the detail in the car. . I added it inside the frame with mounting foam. I stamped the Happy Birthday from the same stamp set and inked the edges of it with the blue ink. I added it with mounting foam inside the frame. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8 3/4" in size.
Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, another gorgeous card card, the colouring is perfect,I like the stamped background and the double stitched frame around the blue car.
