Red Vette

I was commissioned to create an 80th birthday card for a man who owns a 2017 Corvette. It needed to be red and NOT a convertible! Well...that narrowed it down considerably! Never could find an actual stamp for that era of Corvettes, so started a Google search and AI suggested I search using the words "outline art". Bingo! I found a lady who sells outline art on Etsy and after spending $1.50, I was able to download a file of a 2017 Corvette image! I printed it onto X-Press It Blending Card so I could color with Copics.



The card is slightly smaller than a 5" x 7". I computer-generated the sentiment -inside and outside - and popped up the oval card image with foam tape. I added texture by using an embossing folder (? name) on a pale gray paper. It always reminds me of tire tracks.

 

<-----Inside
 
DIES: Nested Elongated Ovals (Pinkfresh Studio); Geared Up Garage (Stampin' Up); Blueprints 27 (My Favorite Things); Slanted Shortcuts dies (Concord & 9th).
OTHER: Embossing folder (Cuttlebug).
COPICS: C00, C3, R27, R29.



I'm entering this into the Seize the Birthday challenge where the topping is embossing! The pale gray panel is dry embossed (see above description) using a Cuttlebug embossing folder. 
 
Thanks so much for stopping by!  ~Wanda
