Happy Birthday Daddy

Just a quick post to show you the card I made for my Husband's birthday, from our Daughter. He's been working on his vintage Rover P6 a lot over the past year so this digistamp from Di's Digistamps was just the job.


The card is made from a base of Riding Hood Red, which I've scored down the left hand side to add interest. The main image, which I coloured using promarkers, is backed by an Old Olive panel that I've run through my BigShot with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder. The sentiment (from a retired SU set) has been cut out using the Decorative Label punch and mounted using Stampin' Dimensionals. I made the spanners from textured Basic Gray cardstock and the Word Window punch & 3/4" Circle punch.
.
I'm entering this card into the Crafty Catz Happy Birthday Challenge #104 and Sweet Sketch Wednesday Challenge #124 as well as Susanna's Birthday Challenge over at Papercraft Planet.
