My Take on the Challenge
I used Stamperia's Imagine collection to create this card for my guy's birthday. He's a car nut and spends his time turning piles of metal into streetrods. I layered up some papers from the Imagine collection on the front.
One thing I love about Stamperia's collections is that they always include lots of cut-apart elements and the circular tag on my card is one of those that I cut out with a scalloped die. I wanted another layer so I added the oval kraft die cut. That was kind of plain so I masked on some diamonds withantique gold paste and added the gent from theTim Holtz Baseboard Dolls collection.
I diecut two old jalopies from black cardstock and then smeared a bit of vintage photo paint on them to give them that old rusted look. They now look just like rat rods! To finish off my card I added two Thought Tokens and a truck charm.
Inside I used Graphic 45's new policy die to make an envelope that is the perfect size for holding a gift card or cash. I added some design paper to dress up the envelope and used Graphic 45's new Sentiment Stamps to add Happy Birthday.
And that's all there is to it!

ReplyDeleteMaggi it's a fabulous card made even more special by the fact that you've gone to the trouble of decorating the inside as well as the outside. Such a perfect choice of papers for this theme xx
ReplyDeleteMaggi, I bet your hubby loved his card to help celebrate his special day! I love your paper choices, and how you've added the gold embossing to the die cut to anchor all those great elements. And you even decorated the inside; something I don't often think to do. Great masculine card! Hugs!
