congratuLations

The masculine cards are always quite big challenge for me. A masculine card for someone who’s just passed their driving test is even more difficult to make ;) Luckily the Chevron Chic Challenge over at Moxie Fab World inspired me to create this CAS (and quick) card:

congratuLations!
congratuLations!

The tyre track pattern is made from a “homemade decorative tape” :) After I’ve created and printed out the chevron stripes template, I’ve placed a strip of masking tape called “invisible tape” across the image, rubbed down precisely and then I’ve peeled up the tape gently. The ink from the image has adhered perfectly, and my decorative tape was ready to use. Unfortunately it works only with black ink, but I’m still quite happy with the result :)

Thank you for visiting today!

  14. This is fun, was wondering if the idol cards had to be new, but I'm guessing that they don't from this entry, great card.
