Trains, Planes & Automobiles TMR

 Hi Everyone, one of 2 DT posts today this is for 

What a great selection to choose from ay? I went from one to another, then decided to get my car die out and go for it. 

I tried to get the embossed lines to be gold embossed, but it wouldn't have it, and embossed all over instead. Not a good one, but I quite liked the look of it. I wondered if I could use an all over gold embossed car. I went looking for a gold birthday quote and came across this, which was computer generated and die cut. Next, I die cut another car and embossed it all, as you see it, I went over the embossed lines with a black fine liner pen, to accentuate them. 

I looked for gold paper and found this, which was die cut, and a plain card die cut to layer over it. The car was 3D'd onto the plain card with the sentiment, which was layered twice and attached directly onto the card. 

car die - Sweet Dixie
gold embossing powder - Altenew Antique Gold
gold paper - Papermania, Modern Lustic
sentiment die - Julie Hicky layers, frames and banners + squares
font used - Bigger Lemons
square dies - Sue Wilson Noble square dies.
 
I wanted something for the insert and adapted something I saw on the web to suit my card. I also made the fuel pump in Photoshop, by added rectangles and colouring them, then a Photoshop brush to make the nozzle and pipe, dragging it to shape it. Adding a shadow to make it come to life - hopefully.

Go see what fabulous cards the DT have produced. Great inspiration for those pesky masculine cards.

I love the antique gold colour you used for the card, and the gold paper looks very effective as a background Faith, and a great sentiment to go with it, and the petrol pump you created works brilliantly, and yet another apt sentiment inside to finish it..a super masculine card! x
