Destination Unknown

Welcome

I made this as a masculine card - and because of that kept it pretty simple


Love this sentiment - there were many holidays when I was young when we had to stop and ask directions - it became a standing joke that it wasn't a 'proper' holiday until we had been lost!


Both the sentiment and the image were stamped with Versamark ink and embossed with silver ep.  The stamps are part of a set by Kiwistamping


The only embellishments were some strips of Washi tape - the zig zag tape has is silver, and has quite a sheen to it, and a line drawn around the border with a silver pen.


So glad motor vehicles have progressed past this stage!

Love the vintage image in a modern setting. The washi tape anchors the image and adds just the right amount of interest.
Thanks for playing along with us at Cardz4Guyz this week. :)

Now this is fabulous! You really are the queen of embossing! I love the touches of washi which give it just enough of that character to round off your card - polished and wonderful!

Argyle and Chevron strip for the old fashioned car was quite inventive Maxine. I hope you will be back again really soon, and thank you so much for taking time to post your lovely art with us.

Your embossing skills always knock my socks off, Maxine. I'm amazed every time. You would LAUGH if you saw my embossing attempts. LOL
