All Geared Up Red & Grey

It's my gorgeous son's birthday.  I can't give him a red sportscar but I can adorn his card with one!

A masculine card created with the Geared Up stamp set and coordinating Garage Gears dies

I made the background by stamping Whisper White Craft ink onto Basic Gray cardstock with various images from the Artisan Textures stamp set.  TIP:  Be prepared to give it a long time to dry!

I layered my background onto some Real Red cardstock and then placed it onto the Basic Black base card.

I cut two sets of cogs with the Garage Gears dies, one in Basic Gray and one in Silver Foil Sheet, then adhered them to the card front - slightly offsetting them.

The car from the coordinating stamp set Geared Up is watercoloured with Real Red ink.  I painted the chrome bits with Smokey Slate and then added some of the Frost White Shimmer Paint so that, in the right light, it looks metallic.

The greeting is from the Best Catch stamp set, stamped with Stazon black ink.

Then I added some of the Classic Garage Metal Elements.

Thank you for visiting.
'Til next time!
