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.  


All for now. Sue x
