Congrats New Driver!

Hello, Gemma here. My card today features the fun Layered Cars stencil set and Across the Miles stamp set. I think they are perfect for a ‘congratulations on passing your driving test‘ card.

I began with Layer C of the Layered Cars stencil, blending distress oxides in the following colours:

• Stormy Sky, Cracked Pistachio, Abandoned Coral, Peacock Feathers, Squeezed Lemonade, Hickory Smoke.

Next, Layer B with the following colours of distress oxide ink:

• Hickory Smoke, Mowed Lawn, Candied Apple, Black Soot

With the last layer, Layer A, I added some of the details with distress oxide ink:

• Hickory Smoke, Black Soot, Carved Pumpkin

I cleaned the stencil, then repositioned it over the background. I then applied Nuvo Glacier Paste in Quicksilver for the wheel hubcaps, lights and handles. I covered any areas of the stencil with washi tape where I didn’t want to add the paste. Remember to clean the stencil well after using any kind of paste.

In a few areas of the background, I stamped some fun sentiments from the Across the Miles stamp set. Once the paste had dried, I trimmed down the background and added it to a 5.25” square card base. I left space underneath for a die cut silver card stock Stitched Strip, and a Congratulations sentiment from the Simple Sentiments stamp set.

Next, I stamped a car from the Across the Miles stamp set and coloured it with copic markers: B93-97, C5, R22, Y11, BG70 BG000.

I die cut the image with the coordinating die and added two layers behind for dimension. I adhered it on to a die cut silver card circle, using a die from the Halloween Circles coordinating die set. I then added them both to the card to finish.

I hope you enjoyed these cards. Thank you for stopping by!
