All Geared Up To Celebrate

 Hello there my crafty friends!  I started with a piece of black gloss card to use as the background.  From the Assorted Tool Border die set, I cut the border made up of tools nine time out of black card.  I glued the borders to the background, alternating the direction of the borders every other one.  I cut the Double Stitched Rectangles and made a thin frame cut from black gloss card.  I added mounting foam to the back of the frame, then attached it to a piece of milk card.  I added the frame to the background with mounting foam.  I cut the Volkswagen from the Classic car die set out of taupe card.  I used a pencil to add the detail to the car and a white pencil to add some soft highlights to the car.  I added it to the inside of the frame with mounting foam.  I cut the All Geared Up To Celebrate sentiment in black and glued it to a shadow backing piece before adding it below the framed 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. 


 All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue, this looks to be a very dark card but I think IRL the black gloss will make it shine. An excellent man's card.
