Hello friends and visitors! Today starts a new Anything Goes challenge at
Scrapy Land, and I have chosen to make a masculine birthday card. On a sad note, this will be my last challenge on the Design Team. With a new job, and the busy season already in full swing, my time for crafting is very limited.
In need of a quick card, I turned to my good friend, Autumn (SewPaperPaint) and the card she sent me for inspiration. (details
HERE and pictured below) Her card is even more beautiful in real life! I love her shimmery, chalky background, and I tried to recreate that on my
Tutti Designs Stitched Nesting Oval and on the card's base. You can see I even borrowed some of Autumn's design elements! Thank you for the inspiration, Autumn!
I colored my
Tutti Vintage Car using a technique I've shared in a step by step
HERE. I just switched my paper from silver to gold toned. I cut a second car from black fun foam to lift it up and to give it a shadow. I also used the gold toned paper on the embossed and rusted background.
Maybe you can see the car is starting to rust.
My
Memory Box Deluxe Gears and single metal cog were heat embossed in black with touches of rust paint. Perfect Pearls sprays were added for patina.
I used an old
Sizzix stamp and die set (
Alterations Birthday Blueprint) for my sentiment.
That's all for me today! Now it's over to YOU! I hope you will stop by the
blog to see all the amazing inspiration from my teamies, and then pull out your dies and play along with our Anything Goes challenge.
Scrapy Land is giving away two $10 gift certificate to our winners, one random and one chosen by the Design Team. The Design Team will also chose Top Picks! You have two weeks to play along!
I want to thank our fearless leader,
Anne Temple and each and everyone of the Design Team for all their support and friendship! You
all are amazing! I hope to be playing along with the challenges when I get the opportunity!
I'm playing along with these challenges"
And thank YOU for stopping by and all of your sweet comments!
Hugs and Blessings!

OMG, this is amazing Sara Emily! I LOVE the colors, texture and dimension! The antique car is my favorite...way to cool! Such a great design for those masculine cards that are always such a struggle for me. I LOVE the outcome of this!
ReplyDeleteI am so sad to hear you are leaving but I understand when it gets a bit crazy and overwhelming something has to give. Good luck with your new job~ We will miss you for sure my friend but I will be buzzing by to see what you're up to now and then~ Take care my friend and thanks for having my back on the DT commenting while away helping with my Father. I am grateful!

An absolute stunning Sara, I love the gorgeous colour tones you achieved on the oval, they are truly amazing. The background is superb too and I just love the techniques you used on the card too! Fabulous work - I am sure they will miss you very much indeed. Hoping the new job is going well too. Hugs, Anne xx
ReplyDeleteThat's a stunning card, Sara Emily - amazing colours and layering to create a beautiful masculine piece which I, for one, would be more than happy to receive (how come the men get all the cool stuff?!). Fabulous. They'll miss you at Scrapland, but it sounds as though you've got your hands full. Hope the new job is going well.
