Cardmaking - map hexagons, a torn and distressed car collage and a ribbon banner

 Another card for a grandson!! He is old enough to have his driver's license!!  I cut the hexagon paper with maps (Melstampz) for the background for my large warm blue card.  I tore around the car collage and distressed the edge before adding a bit of blue watercolour to tone down the white background.  I added 5 pewter eyelets to add some texture.  I created a coordinating banner using cording and short pieces of ribbon.  I punched holes on each side near the fold and secured the end of the cording inside the card front using regular tape.  I secured the collage with 3D foam tape and added two pieces of cording - one on each side - that goes through an eyelet and to the back of the card front.  I secured them with tape as well.  I will put a fun insert in order to hide the ends.  He has been reading car magazines for quite a few years now and I am sure is looking forward to getting a car!!!  Therese
