Welcome to the Antique Car Show! This set is great for making guy cards -- three classic cars and lots of good masculine sentiments. I'm not sure what kind of cars these are supposed to be, but I googled "classic car" to make sure I colored them with appropriate colors. I like the big grommets on my first card. You can't really see it, but IRL you can see the red background in the center holes. I found the macadam DP in a big 12 x 12 photo paper pad I've had for several years.
I had the design of this second card in my head for a couple of days before I started putting it together. I almost tried to make individual banners for the word CLASSIC (because that's how I had envisioned it), but it was too much work. So I finally just curved the sentiment and cut one big banner. I cut the yellow matting with a pair of decorative scissors. The "road" is a Cuttlebug chevron border folder.
And that's it for this month's hop. Hopefully you found at least one or two ideas for how you can use these new stamps from Mark's Finest Papers. And make sure you check out the blogs of the rest of the team.
