I have used Our Creative Corner's Laurie Schmidlin's Sketch Challenge http://ourcreativecorner6.blogspot.c...llenge_28.html for this card which is for my nephew's 18th birthday - he drives a Mini just like this so it seemed the perfect choice for a card. I really enjoyed this Sketch and love how the card turned out, and I am sure I will use the Sketch again.
The Mini is stamped on 140lb Watercolor paper with Versafine Onyx Black and watercoloured with Acrylic Paints, then cut out. Pressed image into Versmark Watermark pad and embossed with clear ep to make the car look shiny. Mount on light blue cs, then sky blue cs which I pierced to add a bit of interest. The Birthday Words are stamped on light blue cs with Versacolor Baby Blue and embossed with clear ep. Mount on dark brown cs after punching LHS with Threading water punch. Mount onto Basic Grey dp and dark brown cs. This gorgeous ribbon is from a set of 5 ribbons Vita Bella VB124 by Little Yellow Bicycle. Lastly, add copper brads to bottom RHS.
TFL and your comments are always appreciated!
