Welcome to our Not so Macho Masculine Blog Hop brought to you by the Sparkle Team of Sparkle N Sprinkle!
If you arrived here from Barbara Bruder’s blog, you are in the right place! If not, you’ll probably want to go to the SNS Blog and start from the beginning.
I’m going to share two different cards made using the same set, 1900 Cars set 285. For the travel card above, I used two different map papers, a new banner die set and labels 17 from Spellbinders. The antique autos on both cards were colored using a combination of markers and Prismacolor pencils. For the Travel greeting, I used a bookplate die and bowed it slightly when I attached it.
On the Classic card below, I cut out the roadster and also an extra left side (facing the viewer) and layered it on the base image for a little extra dimension. The background scene was stamped, masked, sponged and then colored w/ markers. The white frame used a lg oval Spellbinders die and a dot border embossing folder which I used a stylus to hand emboss around the frame. Both cards measure 5.5 x 4.25. The Travel and Classic cards w/ full instructions are also on the SNS website.
Your next stop will be Jill Jacobson’s Blog, so hop on over! By the way, the product you can win from my blog is a jar of Berry Pudding Glitter Tinsel. If you haven’t tried it, please check it out. It’s fabulous! And this color is just scrumptious! Thanks so much for stopping by!
