Digi Darlas Challenge #21 - Anything w/ Wheels

It's Monday and you know what that means...another Digi Darla's Challenge. This week the challenge is "Anything w/Wheels." Be sure to stop by the blog to see the wonderful creations by the rest of the design team.

I love the opportunity to make a masculine card and when I saw this image I knew I had to use. The image is called "Antique Truck." I colored it with Prismacolor pencils w/OMS. The base of the card is Kraft cardstock. I love that stuff! I used an oval Spellbinders Nestabilities die-cut and cut the tool box from the Cricut "Father's Day" cartridge. The "steering wheel" is a metal gear from "7 gypsies." I added some Tim Holtz distress ink to the cricut cut as well as around the sentiment. The sentiment is one of my husband's favorites and I couldn't resist using it. Although it's a masculine card I was able to incorporate some bling into it by using it on the headlights. I also used a glitter pen to accent some of the "chrome." The plaid background paper is from the DCWV "Natural" stack. I added brads as a finishing touch. While I seldom incorporate them in my designs, I find that I especially like them on masculine card. My husband gave this card a big "thumbs up." I hope you do too.

  3. Hi Rachelle - Love your masculine card - great plaid background and shading on your truck. Just an FYI that the dimension challenge at Paper Makeup was last week and you linked this to our Favorite Holiday challenge for this week by mistake, I think. I'm still very happy to see your card and hope you'll have time to make holiday one for us too! {grin}
