A Drive in the Country
I have had an idea in my head for a while now to use the car from Guy Greetings and the group of trees from the Lovely as a Tree stamp set. When I finally sat down to make the card, I couldn’t find either of these stamp sets. They have completely vanished! So I had to re-order them to make this card.
I cut an oval in Tangello Twist card and then embossed using the Brick Wall Embossing Folder. I attached the embossed card to scored and folded Soft Suede card. I stamped the car from the Guy Greetings stamp set onto Whisper White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then covered it with a mask. I stamped the trees from the Lovely as a Tree stamp set over the top using Mossy Meadow ink. Before I removed the mask I stamped the long thin image from the Work of Art stamp set below the car to look like a road using Basic Gray ink. I removed the mask and using a Blender Pen and Lost Lagoon ink, coloured the car.
I cut the image panel using a smaller oval than I had used on the front of the card and attached the panel to the card front using dimensionals.
Inside the card I stamped the car onto the lower left hand corner of Whisper White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, masked it and once again using Mossy Meadow ink stamped the single tree from the Lovely as a Tree stamp set. I stamped the long thin image using Basic Gray ink and removed the mask. Once again I coloured the car using a Blender Pen and Lost Lagoon ink.
I love with this card, it really does remind me of driving in the country. What do you think? As for my missing stamp sets, I live in hope that they will turn up one day.
Bye for now,
