I love this new set (Rev Up the Fun). I'm always on the hunt for masculine sets, and ones that aren't too cutesy or childish because that's what people who are buying cards from me are requesting.(Tough crowd! ;D) I was particularly pleased to see this stamp set offered in French as well.
If you look at the card's background, it was made using the new Silver paper sold in the Holidays mini. It really shines! I thought it would be a great complement to the car image, so I embossed it with the Fancy Fan embossing folder and added four silver brads in each corner. They look like screws, which work perfectly!
The red stripe was created with the new Stylish Stripes embossing folder from the Holidays catalogue, which I inked before running it through the Big Shot, to get the two-tone Cherry Cobbler cardstock. Neat, huh?
The color combo comes from the Color Coach (the retired one since we don't carry Bashful Blue anymore). The fun banner was created by gluing together the two pennant shapes from the Hearts a Flutter Framelits collection, then topping it with a Cherry Cobbler Designer button. The back piece was die-cut on both sides with the Finishing Touches Edgelits. The main image was inked with markers, stamped on Whisper White cardstock and die-cut with the Ovals Framelits.
A matching envelope was made using the Simply Scored and Diagonal plate. This was my favorite card made during the Dare to Get Dirty challenges.
