So onto my card today and it seems I'm still holding onto the summer vibes despite the autumn and Christmas products arriving in the store. This card was actually inspired by the fun sentiment from a Newtons Nook set called Birthday Essentials..
I've paired it with the awesome VW van die from Flora and Fauna.... a true classic. Love how you can layer up the van with coloured papers and metallics to create any colour combo .... I even added some bunting for that summer party feel.
I started by cutting a van in white card and added strips of double sided tape across the back to hold the pieces altogether then just added layers of the colours and patterns I wanted. The windows and headlights are tinted with distress inks and extra detail added with markers. The wheels are also coloured with markers to save cutting such tiny pieces but the bunting has been stamped and cut from patterned paper! I know.. quite fiddly, but I loved the pattern :)
The striped piece is a stamping scrap I had in my stash that was the perfect size but you could easily re-create this with patterned paper, stamping or stencilling.... just type Stripes into the search bar in store and you'll find some options.
Thanks for stopping by :)
