You're A Classic


Good morning and happy Friday! Hope you're on your way to a great weekend.



I pulled out my Polychromos to color the car for a masculine card today. I liked being able to color this car as if it had a few dings and dents of a classic. Or vintage set of wheels.




 When I saw the argyle in the inspiration for the sketch I knew I would be adding another masculine birthday card to my stash.  And playing along with:




Now for the rest of the story. I keep thinking this card needs something. And it does. Because .... I lost the stamp I initially planned to use on it! You know how easy it is for polymer stamps to get stuck on something?  Well, the sentiment that says "Cruising by to say...." cruised itself right into hiding somewhere in plain sight. I chose a different sentiment after a long time of looking and left the banner mostly empty. Calling it done and squeaky clean!

Be yourself
     Delight in your craft 
        Make something beautiful!

What a great card for a guy! The colors and argyle are perfect, too. Gee, I figured you just wanted a white banner. Looks fine to me! You'll come across that stamp someday when you're not looking for it. Just hope it didn't stick to something that went into the wastebasket.

I love your argyle background Cindy and the card is gorgeous! I had to laugh when I read your bit about losing the clear greeting - SO relatable! They do usually turn up though and your card looks perfect with the sentiment you used!
