Summer on the open road card

summerOpenroad
Over on CBC forum Carolineanne has set a challenge to make a greetings card depicting summer. Here is my entry for the challenge. I was going to do a seaside theme but I thought about doing something different – day trippers out for a drive on a nice summer day. Now I know it is at a jaunty and I thought it would look nice sitting on pink tissue paper but I couldn’t get that to lay flat. I stamped the image twice and decoupaged the car.

Inks: Black document, Stampin up Taken with teal, Brilliance graphite black, Memento London fog, copic pens to colour and black gelly glaze pen for tyres
Card: white card, teal card
Stamps: Paper nation vintage chic, The artistic stamper The open road set, Basic Grey flourish corners
Other: blooms, gems, ribbon, rub-on letters (summer), Making memories page pebbles (head lights)
