Good Morning everyone
My parents booked last minute to go to France for 6 weeks so I had to get a card made for dad for fathers day fast. I bought this old bus stamp from aall&create in a sale earlier in the year which I thought would be ideal for dad.
Card size approx 6x4.5". I stamped the bus and watercoloured green with inktense pencils and cut out. I made my card base from green card by die cutting 2 shapes and adhering together with a hinge on the back one.
I die cut a smaller shape from white card and embossed with a 3d cog embossing folder which I then lightly inked over with black soot distress ink to give it some depth and feel of oily cogs.
I die cut a piece of black card with a scalloped edge and adhered to the bottom of the white panel and then the card front. I added the bus with glue gel and then added some white lines on the road with white inktense pencil - i went with wonky lines to go with the quirky bus for a bit of fun.
Sentiment stamped in black on strip of white card, matted onto black, adhered with foam tape and 2 green gel dots added to finish.
Showing it stood up. I added glossy mod podge to the windows to give a subtle glass like effect when the light hits it.

Thank you for stopping by once again. Its been an eventful week and I won't be having a 3rd injection of the new MS medication after I ended up being sent to A&E with anaphylactic shock......now of all the side effects I had considered that wasn't one of them! lol So been feeling very fragile last few days and glad I got well ahead on my DT makes etc....So please forgive for not commenting on your makes, hopefully a few quiet days and I perk up a bit.
Big hugs to you all. Emmaxx
