Car Congrats

This is the perfect card for teenager that just got their license. I was having fun here. Making me slanted road, stitching the road lines and making my own text dp for the bg.

You can find more inspiration on THE ALLEY WAY STAMPS BLOG.

I used the following stamp sets:


JIBBER JABBER

I made my background by combining the five words. I placed them side by side the way I wanted on scrap paper then pressed my acrylic block to them to pick them up. I tried them on scrap paper first to see if I liked it. Then I just stamped my whole background alternating the positing at each row.

The car I stamped three times. The first I cut out the whole car. Second I cut out the whole car and the windows. Third just the tires. I colored, sponged, added brads for the tires and put dimensional glaze over the whole thing then popped up.

RECIPE:
STAMPS:Priceless Joy, Jibber Jabber (The Alley Way Stamps)
PAPER:Cottonball White, Night Eclipse (Clear Dollar Stamps)
INK:Memento Tuxedo Black, Copics C-5, B00, Blender, YG23
ACCESSORIES:DMC Pearl Cotton 5, Tapestry needle 20, paper piercer and mat (We R Memory keepers), Dimensional glaze, mini brad, Large round corner punch
TECHNIQUES: Stitching, Paper Tole, own dp

THANK YOU FOR VISITING. ENJOY YOUR DAY!
