7/26/2017 Update: This card was selected as a Top Three winner in the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #221.
Lots of men in my family equates to a constant need for masculine cards. There are several topics that are popular with the men and boys, cars being one of them. This card will be mailed so I made it with a low profile.
Two panels of Cartopia paper were adhered to a white card base. The license plates were fussy cut from the Cartopia Collection and aligned in keeping with the card sketch. A strip of red paper was adhered along with the die cut sentiment. The metal gears were adhered, again because of the sketch. The inside was decorated with another birthday die cut and a strip of coordinating striped paper.
The card is being submitted to the following challenges:
1.
Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #221
