Graphic 45 - A Proper Gentleman Vintage Car Birthday Card

Hi everyone 😀

Today I am sharing another Masculine Birthday Card:

This is also another entry for the following Challenge:

Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge - August

The main image was trimmed from a sheet by Graphic 45 - A Proper Gentleman. One of the sheets is filled with Vintage cars in all different colours and styles so I have trimmed them all up ready for cards. I layered it onto dark brown cardstock and trimmed it to 1/16" using my Perfect Layers Tools then popped it up on dimensionals.

The top background paper is really old and is called Rosemoka Chateau de sable. The fleur de lis paper is by Graphic 45 - Le Romantique Collection - Celebration. I layered the papers onto rust and then dark brown cardstock and trimmed them to 1/18" and 1/16" respectively using my Perfect Layers Tools.

The dark brown centre punched border was made using my Fiskars Threading Water punch.

The sentiment is by Lili of the Valley and was stamped onto kraft cardstock using Versafine Vintage Sepia ink then diecut it using my Big Shot and Lifestyle Nesting Circle dies. I glued it to a rust diecut circle then popped it up on dimensionals. I punched some hearts from rust cardstock using my Carl CP-8 heart duo punch then added Glossy Accents. This sentiment is no longer available as a stamp but Lili of the Valley have it available as a digital download on their Etsy store. The ribbon is from my stash.

Once I had finished my card front, I glued it to a kraft card base using Tombow Mono Multi glue.

Thanks for stopping by!

Since February 2012 I have been caring full-time for a family member diagnosed with a life-threatening illness so my posting isn't as regular as I would like it to be.

None of my cards are for sale and I am unable take part in image swaps nor stamp images to share - nor do I do Commissions. My enjoyment is solely to make cards to give to friends and family: I just LOVE making cards :-)

Feel free to CASE (Copy And Share with Everyone) one of my cards for personal use ie: not for competitions, publication or where you would gain financially - but please make a couple of simple changes to make the card reflect your own input and personality eg: brads instead of buttons, different papers or border punch etc. and please include a link back here to my original card as a matter of kindness and courtesy. I have a watermark/web address on my cards to help you remember where it came from.
