I am just squeaking in under the wire for this week's CASology #43. My card uses the colors of Dynamic Duos #10, in honor of Dynamic Duos #52: Any Past Dynamic Duo, and is also for Simon Says...Things with Wings. I was inspired by this card by Ashley Cannon Newell.
My next card is for this week's Make it Monday #115: Beyond Paper with Impression Plates. I had several embossing folders out to work with, but after I embossed my first piece of aluminum foil, I knew exactly what I wanted to do, and did not need to emboss anything else. I have a feeling that I am entering the time when many of the young people I know will be getting their drivers licenses, so I think this card will come in handy. I used googlie eyes for the headlights--this car always reminds me of Herbie the Love Bug.

ReplyDeleteGreat cards Joyce. I love the hexagons and the colors you used on the first one. And the embossing folder on the second one is perfect.

WOW, Joyce, awesome bow to finish off your beautiful hexagon card! Looks like a bumpy track under your car ~ just like the real thing. Great idea and perfectly executed, Joyce!
ReplyDeleteJoyce-We had the exact same idea. I posted my card and was just looking at all of them and for a second I thought it was mine, but wait, it's different. Even the same color car. Too funny! SheriE.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these cards are great!
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards, Joyce!
ReplyDeleteTwo great cards - love the classic elegance of the first and the second one is going into the CASE file. Perfect for a new driver - love the embossed foil & googly eyes! I've never gone to GG's garage sale - I'd love to pick up some older background stamps, but don't know anyone that has bought and/or sold there before.
ReplyDeletebeautiful hexi card!! love the textured tin with the car!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards. I love how you've colored in the stamp on the first one! Thanks for playing along with us in the Things With Wings Challenge over on the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog this week. We are so glad you shared your creation!
