Let’s get Started:

Card Base:8.5 x 7, scored and folded at 3.5

Border Layer:8.5 x 3.25

Card Face: 8.5 x 3

Card Face:

I put the card face into the stamp positioner and added the image to the left side with Memento black ink: I added colour with alcohol markers.
I positioned the stencil on the right half of the card and used silver and green metallic gel pens to create the image.
I used light blue ink and a soft hand to add subtle colour around the image.
I put the card face back into the stamp positioner and stamped the sentiment with Versafine Onyx: I sprinkled this with clear embossing powder and set it with my heat gun.

Assembly

I centered the blue border layer on the card base, and added the card face on top of these, using liquid glue to secure both layers.

Final Thoughts:

I’ve been wanting to use this 50’s car for a while, and finally found a great combination with this blowing leaves stencil. I love this combination.
