Mens Birthday DIY theme shutter card

Good Morning all, i hope you had a good weekend.

So its time for another new challenge over at Make My Monday, the theme this fortnight is:

FANCY FOLDS

I made this DIY themed shutter card for my brothers birthday, he is an engineer and often fixing something or other.  

Using the tattered lace shutter card die i cut the blank from white card.  Then using the matting dies in the set i cut them from wood panel pattern paper.  I then die cut lots of tools, cogs, nuts from silver holographic card and turquoise pearl card.  I then cut the handles from the tools and glued onto the silver version.  

Using mixed alpha dies i cut 'Mr Fix It' from green cardstock.  Id had the landrover decoupaged made up for months and thought this card was perfect as my brother also drives a landrover. 

Showing the left hand side of the card, i added the landrover so it looks like its driving out of the card.

Showing the right hand side better.  Shows the colour better.

And the back of the card, i die cut another woodpanel patten paper in a paler colour so that the greeting can be written on easily.  I then added all the left over tools, die cut birthday sentiment.  

Items Used: 

Tattered Lace Shutter die set

Various tool dies

Papermania Mr Smiths Workshop papers.

Dufex landrover decoupage
