Using glass glitter & Stampin Up Need for Speed

Admist all the flowers and butterflies featured so far this week I thought it was time to pop a more masculine card into the mix, especially as Fathers Day is fast approaching this weekend! 


Using the Quad bike from the retiring Need for Speed stamp set (w 122715 £17.95, c 122717 £13.95), I used chocolate chip cardstock for my base layer then covered it with retiring Fan Fair designer series paper (126918 £9.95) - love those bicycles!  A layer of very vanilla cardstock on top was then stamped with the quad bike stamp in chocolate chip ink (126979 £4.95) as well as a masked stamp piece from the Clockworks stamp set (w 127290 £21.95, c 127292 £17.95).




The dirty road verge was created by sticking a strip of chocolate chip card to the very vanilla with Tombow, temporarily letting it set then ripping it back off again - very therapeutic!


The smoke trail was made with the masking part of a clockworks stamp and then covering it with glass stampin glitter (120997 £3.25 for 28.4g pot) to give a gritty effect - I think it works quite well!

A quick sentiment stamped from the Bring on the Cake stamp set (121899 £34.95, c 121958 £27.95) combined with a retired brushed bronze designer button and the project was complete.





Linking this card up as my challenge entry to Crafts for Eternity #127 - for the boys,  cards for men #12 - boys will be boys, crafty sentiments - for a male, papertake weekly - hello boys, kaboodle doodles #175 - for your fave guy, try it on tuesday - one for the men, top tip tuesday #103 - masculine.

Hope you'll pop by again tomorrow for a "not a card" project!
