Toot Toot

Hello everyone, 


I really fancied a change this week so decided to go all masculine and do a card for my uncles birthday.



He really loves everything to do with cars so this lovely stamp from LOTV seemed the obvious choice.  He also wears a cap, and loves motor racing so it just all worked out beautifully. To make things even better LOTV have just announced their new challenge and it is sports which means I can put it forward for their competion.

  I just love this cute little chap and can imagine him  taking part in the London to Brighton run or some such jaunt.  My country gent paper pad fit the bill to back him, I just love the way all of the papers go together it makes it so easy. I coloured him with my promarkers adding a little TB2 around the edges to make the image pop out. Then I cut the image out with a die from Xcut and inked to edges with a little tea die from Tim Holtz and just a touch of vintage Mahogany to bring in the red.


  I decided to pair it with some Kraft card to back the papers and to stamp the sentiment and to make the tag. I got out my eyelets and treaded through some garden twine which seemed to fit so well into the theme and the little charm had been in my stash for years just waiting for this card.



Some finishing touches

Hope you like it, at least I have rang the changes away from girly and pretty lilac and pink colours. I really liked using my eyelets again, must use them more often in my cards rather than just for scrapbooking.

Have a lovely week
Best wishes
Maria
