One more masculine card challenge

I had a little time to play along with Betsy Veldman's challenge to create a masculine card using one of the color combos she posted here on her blog.
http://scrapbookgirl.typepad.com/paper_scissors_and_superh/2010/06/masculine-inspiration-day-2-color-a-challenge.html
I used the first combination and made this card for my husband who will be turning 55years old.

I used PTI Enjoy the Ride, Get to the Point and Vintage Label stamp sets. You cant see it very much but I also used Woodgrain and the Linen Impression Plates for texture. I used brads for the lights and mirrors and used foam squares to raise the car the 55 and a couple arrows. The colors seem to be off ( the blues are a little more green. I will have to really start working on my photo skills this summer!)

The Colour Lover's web site is sooo cool and very helpful! I found a palette that I cant wait to go make my next card with. (I just went to the most loved color section and picked the most popular one! Cant go wrong with that!haha) A big THANK YOU to Betsy for sharing this site with everybody because I know I will use it a LOT!

Before I go I have 2 more quick quick Thank you cards I made. Used Year of Flowers:Lilly of the Valley, Fillable Frames, Kraft and Rustic Cream card stock, Chocolate Ink ,and tea dye duo and some Linen texture plates (both sides of it).

Very simple.

  3. I love how you incorporated all the different stamps in your card. Another PTI lover as I can see from your choice of stamps. Thanks for the encouraging words.
