Chrome Birthday Wishes

 

Good Evening Crafters!



Today I want to share a birthday card I made for a VERY SPECIAL Birthday.

I needed to create a manly birthday card this week, so I was excited to do something a little different.  This is the first card I have made in a long while that I did not use glitter on.

 

 

I created the chrome diamond plate with white cardstock and 3 different colors of gray and metallic silver inks.  I colored the cardstock by stamping a light gray all over the paper.  Next I added the Metallic silver ink all over the light gray, a little more randomly.  Lastly I added the dark gray around the edges.

 

After I got the shading just right, I ran it through the embossing machine

with the diamond plate embossing folder.

 

I used copic markers to color the truck.  I wanted it have some variances in the color (just like the real truck I was trying to copy).

 

I added a few wrench cutouts because the man I am making this

card for LOVES to mechanic.

 

I also hand lettered the license plate with HB 2U (Happy Birthday To You).

 

 

I also pop dotted the blue banner and the truck.

 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
