SISTER STASH - All occasion card featuring a vintage car, some red corrugated paper and black brads and ribbon

 Having a lot of fun playing with the stash of cardstock and papers which my sister left here a while back and I am using to make cards for her.  She prefers cards without greetings which are more versatile because they can suit more than one occasion.  For this one I started with a large black card (8.5" x 5.5 ") which will fit in her envelopes and added this speckled background which very well suited this vintage card image.  The vintage car is one I downloaded from CLKER, laser printed and then embellished with watercolour to simulate a parking lot, grass, shrubs and sky.  I added clear glitter to the headlights, bumper and hubcaps.  I ran a thick black marker around the edges once it was dry which helped define them and added a bit of a vintage look to it.  I tore the piece of red corrugated paper on the top and bottom and trimmed it neatly on the two sides.  I added a length of thin black ribbon and secured the ends to the back with doubled sided tape.  I tied a short piece to it using a single knot which nicely simulates a bow.  I positioned the car image over the red corrugated and attached it with four black brads.  I adhered this large focal image to my card front and put it under weight to dry.  Another fun card that can be used for a variety of occasions!!    Therese
