Strange mix of topics, right??? :)
First, I needed a birthday card for my Dad, who is a "Car Guy," he currently has a Rat Rod project with my brother, a 1939 Dodge Truck redo and is tinkering with his Harley. I knew as soon as I saw the Home plate from Artistic Outpost the truck in the set was Perfect for my Dad!
A friend reminded me recently that we, a scard makers, should really make 2 of each card when we have our supplies out...so I am going to try to do this, saves so much energy! I can never make 2 Identical cards, but using the stuff you have out to make multiple cards is a great idea!
My first card I used a piece of a Fabriano card I had messed up and did a Misting technique, I inked the stamp, then misted it with water before stamping it on the paper...
A Manly inside treatment...
And the second card of the set...for this one I stamped directly on the Fabriano paper and then went over it a little with a damp Aquapainter...
Supplies:
Stamps: Home (Artistic Outpost,) Birthday Centers (CHF)
Paper: Granola (Basic Grey,) Fabriano Mediovalis, Textured Brown and Blue Cards (DCWV)
Ink: Vintage Violet, Blue Bayou (SU)
Misc: Twill Ribbon, Top Note Die, Glazed Brads, Copper Brads
