Stamped car using Craft Basic Black ink on a 2.75″ x 5″.  Note:  I started out with a larger piece of card stock but cropped it down later.

Heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Colored the car with a Daffodil Delight marker.

Added More Mustard to the bottom half of the card and then colored over the entire card again using the Daffodil Delight marker to smooth any lines out.

Colored the headlights and windows in using a Bashful Blue Marker.

Let the first coat dry and then added another layer of Bashful Blue on the shadow pieces of the windows.

Colored in the hubcaps of the car using a Sahara Sand Marker.

Colored over the car using a Versamark Marker and then Heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder.  Now the image is completely embossed and protected.

Punched a Scallop Circle Punch out of a post it note, cut it in 1/2 and used it to mask for the dust cloud.

Brayered Tempting Turquoise ink at the top of the card stock.

Brayered Not Quite Navy ink at the very top of the card stock.

Sponged Soft Suede ink in at the bottom of the card stock.

Sponged Chocolate Chip ink underneath the car.

Moved the mask for the dust down a bit and sponged Always Artichoke ink around the scallops.

Moved the mask down a bit more and sponged Tempting Turquoise ink around the scallops.

Removed the mask and sponged Always Artichoke ink in the bottom of the dirt cloud.

 

Sponged Soft Suede ink at the the bottom of the dirt cloud blending the bottom of the cloud into the ground area a bit.

 

Sponged Not Quite Navy ink around the edge of the card stock.

 

Added a 4.25″ x 5.5″ piece of Soft Suede card stock, 5 2/8″ x 3.75″ piece of More Mustard card stock, 5″ x 3.75″ piece of Well Worn DSP and 4 silver brads.

Added 2 strips of Basic Black 1/4″ x 4″.

Here is the finished card measuring 5.5″ x 4.25″.

May your day be filled with joy!

Until my next post. . . . .  . . .
