Cards for guys have always been a challenge, but with the new "Geared Up Garage" with the coordinating framelits plus DSP this task is much easier.
The colours for this card were easy to pick. I selected the DSP I first, and chose my colour palette from that. Not only did I choose my colour palette, but I was also able to use the coordinate framelets to die cut images directly from the DSP. I did that for all the cog gears and the gas can The cars were also obtained directly from the DSP, only I fussy cut them, although I realized later that I could have used the framelits. Alternately I could have stamped the images and then die cut them.
This Tranquil Tide Z Fold card base is 5 1/2 by 11" scored at 5 1/2 and again at 8". The 1 1/4" by 11" band is also scored the same.
Each of the sections is layered with Very Vanilla and then one of 3 patterns of the DSP. The band is also layered with Very Vanilla and then mainly gray DSP which was embossed with the Maps etc Embossing folder.
All cardstock, DSP, die cut and punched images were sponged with Basic Gray ink. This was the most labour intensive part of this card.
The birthday sentiment is from "Better Together". It is stamped in Tranquil Tide ink and then punched using the Everyday Labels punch.
One of the cars was adhered to the band; the second on the back portion of the car. The die cut cog wheels were placed on different locations and a car key metal element is added by each car.
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Geared Up Garage, Better Together
Inks: Tranquil Tide, Basic Gray
Papers: Tranquil Tide. Very Vanilla, Geared Garage DSP
Accessories: Maps etc Embossing Folder, Classic Garage Metal Elements, Gear Garage Framelits, Everyday Label Punch
