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.
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

What a great masculine card. Love all the dimension, with the EF, the hubcaps and that pretty red corvette as the focus point. Thanks for joining us at Seize the Birthday.
Glad you found the file image to make your fabulous card for an 80th birthday. Love all the texture and layers. Thanks for sharing with us at Seize the Birthday.
Well, you certainly were resourceful at finding this corvette image. I am sure the person who asked for it along with the recipient will love it. Your layout is super fun too. Thanks for playing at Seize the Birthday, Wanda!
