 Our Alphabet Challenge letter this week is R-Red. You can find the challenge here. Round 24 Alphabet Challenge - Posting Thread - 1-28-26 thru 8-5-2026 by annsforte3 at Splitcoaststampers
I love using red with black because of the wonderful contrast. So when I stamped this image I thought of leaving most of it black. I thought I'd color some of the parts red. Then I thought it looked too plain with the card base background, so I cut 1/2" strips of red and black paper and did a herringbone pattern. You can find the tutorial here. Herringbone Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers
I wanted to add some texture to the background so I dry embossed it with the old world paper 3D embossing folder. The image was added with dimensionals. I stamped this specific sentiment so it could go on a dinner tray for a guy at a local hospital.

That's a cool vintage stamp! I'll bet the petrol price ⛽ back then was a little different from today, lol!

Fabulous classic image with that old gas pump and motorcycle but, for me, the real star of the show is that fabulous background you created. It has so much energy!
