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.

Re-Cycle!

Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for

I didn't have a clue apart from using a drinks can again, but I saw this card by Karen and an idea hit me. Whether it is successful is up to you! 

I cut pages from hubby's tools magazine, he loves it and has to have the new one every time it comes out. As it's quite new I had to select pages he wouldn't look at again. Well it is for a male card after all LOL.

I then cut them into strips and weaved them together. they were so light I put a strip of double sided tape in an L shape on my glass mat to hold them in place while weaving. I glued them to card to give substance then die cut them and embossed it.

I'm not a CAS style Gal, so went looking for background paper to add the card , then realised the car was too fussy to add a busy background, I wondered what do you stampers and painters do? You add paint splatters, so that's what I did - but digitally! Maybe even this is too much? I added an edge to the printed piece with Spectrum Noir Markers.

car - Sweet Dixie Die

paints platters - Blue Flower Art at Digichick

I had some left over pieces from this card, so used them to frame the car. 

As I had some drinks can cut left from another card I die cut the sentiment. I think I can truly say this is a recycled card.

Wedding cards

Hi Everyone, my post today included 2 cards, why? you may ask, because a friend of mine asked if I would make cards for herself and her Mother for her Daughter's Wedding Day.

I had recently bought a car die which I thought looked so elegant, not knowing that the order would be within days of me buying it.
