For The Love of Stamps Classic Cars stamp set and mask

Morning crafters.

Sharing my final DT samples for the new stamps released this weekend by For The Love of Stamps from www.hunkydorycrafts.co.uk 

For these I used the Classis Cars stamp set and coordinating Mask



I inked through the frame on the coordinating mask, to create a frame on some white card.

I randomly stamped images in different colour distress inks onto the white card. This was then layered onto black card and attached to card blank 

On a strip of white card I stamped one of the main car images and added the sentiment then layered onto black card.

This was attached to card blank to complete.  



I drew two lines to create a panel to the left of some white card. 

I inked through the mask onto the panel to create the trophy then stamped a sentiment underneath. 

In the main section of the card I stamped the Car image and added stars for effect.

I cut two pieces of paper from the Monochrome Background paper pad to create banners, and attached to card.

I then matted this onto black card and then onto the card blank.



I layered some paper from the Perfectly Natural Background paper pad onto mirri then on a card blank.

I stamped the main car images onto an oval die cut in versafine ink.  Using Kuretake clean colour pens I coloured the image in with a water brush.  

Using papers from the Perfectly Natural and Monochrome Background paper pads I created some banners. The car topper was then attached to the card blank tucking the banners behind. Rhe flags were stamped and cut out and attached to the card .

A sentiment finished this off.

Thankyou for stopping by to see all my samples.
