Good Morning and Safe Driving!!

I was finally able to be a little bit productive yesterday, without being in a rip roaring hurry!

I have had this General Motors 1957 Bel Air stamp for awhile and so I finally inked it up and make a card. Wouldn't this be great for someone who just bought their first car? or just got their license?!

The backgrounder is License Plates from Cornish Heritage Farms. I stamped it in Vintage Cream onto Spring Moss cardstock and then clear embossed it.



I decided AFTER that, I wanted a rusty look so I rubbed Vintage Photo distress ink over top and then quickly sprinkled on Vintage photo distress embossing powder.



This embossing powder is a bit different in that it doesn't get shiny - and that is what I wanted!! When the powder cooled down (you really HAVE to wait until it cools) I wiped away the crystals to reveal a very cool rusty look to this background. I love it and it compliments the vintage car perfectly!

The car is stamped in Vintage photo distress ink and then I added Ranger crackle accents on top.

I cut a little tag with the Cuttlebug Tiny Tags die and stamped the words "journey", "live", "seek", "&" and "explore" - with the Everyday Petites stamp set as you can clearly see...........;)

I added some Karen Foster sparkle brads to the card, but I sanded them down so they wouldn't be so beautifully brilliant! They are so gorgeous and sparkly, but that wasn't the look I was heading for today.


Have a great safe driving day!!
