Good morning crafty friends
At some time or another I think we can struggle making a 'male' card
This one is really quite easy to make and assemble and the wood grain can be achieved with tools you already own
Going Places Vintage Labels (set of 16 cling stamps) ~ JustRite/Spellbinders
I started with a 13x18cm white card base and for the insert, as shown above, I cut a smaller piece of white copy paper and applied a second generation stamp of the vehicle using the Versafine Onyx Black Ink Pad.
I placed the Happy Birthday stamp from the set on the blank space under the sentiment and stamped it
The wood grain affect is achieved by, cutting a piece of white card, (mine measures 9x13.5cm) and scoring it, vertically, then, using my Hougie Board, I scored the card at 1cm increments. Next, using 'Walnut Stain' Distress Oxide Ink Pad I ran the pad down the scored card
Depending on the amount of pressure you use to ink the card you will see the different effects that can be achieved.
Once inked I buffed the area with a paper towel then backed the card onto a layer of black card. I wrapped baker's twine' around the topper 3 times and secured it at the back with red line tape
I stamped the vehicle stamp onto white card, fussy cut it and added mounting foam to the back. I removed the backing from the tape and placed the topper onto the wood grain card, applied Cosmic Shimmer Glue to the back and adhered to the card base
To complete I stamped 'Live Your Dream' to the bottom on the card
There will be an extra post tomorrow, at 9am, as it's the first of the month and that means a new challenge at Moving Along With The Times (MAWTT)
Thank you for popping by today, I hope my design have given a little inspiration.
I read all your comments and really appreciate you leaving me a message
