I love the sense of bold forward motion given by the new 'Mid Century Boomerangs' stencil from A Colorful Life Designs. Silver Embossing Paste was applied through the stencil for the horizontal metallic + black strip. Tex's Tip: When using a texture paste, be sure to wash your stencil right away to easily remove the paste from the stencil. Soaking in a tray of water will be helpful if a sink isn't readily handy.
Next I lightly brushed gray ink onto the central area of the white card layer. Although this layer adds no texture, it does continue the visual flow & direction.
Finally it's all topped off with a cool, single sentiment from Technique Junkies, easily placed with my Misti positioner. The windshield is shiny & dimensional with Glossy Accents and a Gelly Pen gives a metallic look to the 'chrome' elements.
Ready, set, Vroom-vroom!

Hi, Bev! I just saw this at Retro Rubber and had to pop over. Your 'Vette is a vintage classic, for sure, and what a cool stencil! Gee, I have a few of those old Rubbernecker stamps, as well as a few new Rubbernecker. Still love them all! Your card is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love Rubbernecker images! You did an amazing job with the dimensionality, sense of motion, and coloring the car along with it's shiny windshield! Thanks for playing along with us at Retro Rubber for our AG challenge
