This is for
stamping 411 sketch challenge 195. I used ivory card base, I used CB circles IP on the kraft cardstock because it reminds me of wheels. The DPs are Rustic Stack and Shimmer Stack. I punched out 2 circles and used a birthday stamp--looks like a wheel, huh? Then the cute little car stamp from Inkadindadoo. Black strips to look like a road and then all tied up with twine. The faux buttons are Martha Stewart punch--again look like wheels! I used this instead of real buttons because they make less weight and bulk on a card. I am making cards for
Operation Write Home a group that sends handcrafted cards to troops overseas for them to send to their loved ones. If you have a big stock of cards made up, check out their site. It is a great cause.
Got a great retro feel to this card Donna. Thanks for playing along.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful reason to make a card! I'm a big fan of operation write home and cards for heros.. Thanks for helping support our folks overseas who potentially put themselves in harms way to protect our way of life. ((((hugs)))
