Brightly Gleaming Geared Up Garage - A masculine card

The Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper - more than just Christmas!  It's so versatile it can be used for virtually any occasion!

A masculine card, suitable for a birthday, featuring the Geared Up Garage Bundle and Brightly Gleaming paper

This is a very simple card and, although it looks quite different, it's basically the same design as the Christmas card and Fathers' Day cards I shared in this post.

The tool box and greeting are both black heat embossed onto Silver Foil Sheet.  The gears are all cut from Silver Foil Sheet and there's a Silver Foil Sheet edge under the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper.

The car was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and then coloured with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers before being cut out with the coordinating die.

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.
