Vintage Car Birthday

The current Seize the Birthday Challenge is to make a card using three shades of green.  When I saw the green gel press print on my studio table leftover from Saturday's Mixed Media Art Journal experimentation, I thought it would be the perfect piece to build my card around.

 

 

I settled on the sketch from the Sketch-N-Scrap Blog for my layout and pulled out three coordinating green shades of cardstock.  I need more masculine cards, and the first vintage car I remember our family having was green, so I chose stamps from Ciao Bella Paper Ride to Live.

 

 

I used four different stamps from the set and die cut the ivory cardstock with a stitched circle die.

I finished with a sentiment from My Favorite Things Anything-but-Basic Birthday Wishes.

 

 

I'm also joining the Going Green Challenge at The House that Stamps Built.

Fabulous masculine card!! You don't usually see green paired with a vintage card, but it really works so well here. And I really love that MFT sentiment set. I have and definitely don't use it enough! Thanks for the inspiration. Thanks for playing with The House That Stamps Built.
