Hello and welcome to the first CAS Colours & Sketches challenge of 2019. This month is being hosted by Jeanne and this week she has a sketch for us to try. I have a class later this month so I’ve been keen to try out the new Geared Up Garage stamp set. Hence it’s use for my card.
To be honest I was a little conflicted with this sketch. It took me a little while to come up with something that I liked so I hope you like it.
My main issue was how and what to use for the wavy piece across the middle. My original thought was to use vellum but I’m away from home and don’t have any. In the end I opted to use some of the Classic Garage double sided paper. Some of the same paper was used for the inside too.
I’m loving the Garage Gear dies that coordinate with the stamp set. The die cut emblem reminds me of the emblem on my mini (car), but I’m sure that there are other car manufacturers that have similar emblem shapes. Sadly, you can’t see the full detail in the photo but there is embossing on the wings too – the die does the cutting and embossing.
I didn’t use the sentiment from the stamp set for the emblem but used one from another. I thought this combination would make a great card for someone who has just passed their driving test. Sentiments can easily be swapped out though so you could use the idea for lots of other occasions.
Hopefully my Geared Up Garage card has inspired you to give the challenge a go. You will find the link HERE and you have until 11.00 pm (UK time) to add the link to your card.
In the meantime don’t forget to pop over to the challenge blog to see what other members of the design team have to share. We have two new members joining us and I’m sure that they will have some great ideas to inspire you.
Happy stamping.
