Geared Up Garage Suite

So many AMAZING new products in the Occasions catalogue.  I need more time to create! I started with this Masculine Themed Suite as my brother is having a milestone birthday in February and he has a custom built red mustang so I thought this would be perfect!

I started with the red car and went from there.  I stamped the car using Memento Ink on Real Red cardstock and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder to give all the black details that metallic shine. I then used a strip of the carried over metallic black ribbon (think the Halloween products in the holiday catalogue) and mounted on a punched out Starburst of Silver foil (this is actually the galvanized paper but it did not carry over so future cards would be silver foil).

The layers behind are not cardstock but instead pieces of the DSP from the suite.  There is a great assortment of both patterns (as seen behind the card), as well as solid sheets.  I embossed the black piece with the Hexagon folder (looks like a nut) and mounted on a basic gray DSP layer.

To add a bit of texture to the card, I used the oil spill stamp from the stamp set and inked that up in Smokey Slate to stamp on the Real Red card base.  I then stamped the sentiment using Memento Ink.  I love the finished effect and this will be quick and easy to make in multiple colours using the colour palette in the card stock (Tranquil Tide, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Basic Black and Basic Gray)

The stamp set for this suite has some great images as well as sentiments, including one for Father's Day. Don't delay in adding it to your collection.  Why not join me on January 31st for my Geared Up Garage Class?
