Crafty Secrets DT Challenge (Masculine Theme)

Good morning! Today is the Crafty Secrets DT Challenge and for this month our challenge was to create something with a masculine theme. I have a link list at the bottom of this post for all of the DT Members so please be sure to visit each of their blogs to see what they have been busy creating. I know I can't wait to see what they have been up to!!I designed a card with a masculine theme using the Car Classics and Photo Studio stamp sets from Crafty Secrets. All of the car related stamps are from the Car Classics stamp set and I used the film strip from the Photo Studio stamp set. I love the red, white and black color combination and I think it looks very striking. Here is a close up of the car from the Car Classics stamp set. I used Copic markers to add the color. I used these four shades for red R17, R27, R29, R39 for the card and C0, T5 to color in the gray areas.The banner is also from the Car Classics stamp set. I stamped the image using Tuxedo Black ink, colored with Copic markers and hand cut. Then I place a piece of black ribbon behind the banner and used 3D Foam Squares to add a little dimension to the banner. For a finishing touch I added a few pieces for Baby Silver Rhinestones 100 Count from Want2Scrap™ on the crown.To create the border along the bottom I used the film strip stamp from Photo Studio and the small car images from Car Classic fit perfectly in the spaces. I used Copic markers to add a little color and distressed the edges. I added black ribbon behind the border to finish it off. I added another piece of the black ribbon to the top and a few pieces for Baby Silver Rhinestones 100 Count from Want2Scrap™. All of the cardstock is from Discount Cardstock. I think this would make a perfect card for Father's Day (which is right around the corner!), a birthday or just a thinking of you card.
