To A Classic – Guy Greetings

With pleasure, I accepted the Guest Designer role with the Tic Tac Toe team for Challenge Number 247.  I picked the left column: Dry Emboss, Stripes and Plaid.

I was inspired to create for The Male Room (#186) and Alphabet (Letter C).  Choosing the Automobile image from the retired Guy Greetings stamp set.

And choosing this photo for color inspiration:

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Basic Black cardstock.
• Background Panel: (5¼” x 4”) Black Striped patterned piece of paper from the retired Rock & Roll Designer Series Paper pack.
• Accent Rectangle: (4” x 1½”) Black Speckled patterned piece of paper also from the retired Rock & Roll Designer Series Paper pack dry-embossed with the Diamond Plaid Fun Patterns Embossing Folder, an On-Line Exclusive product.
  • Using a Sanding Block, the embossed pattern was enhanced to bring out the Plaid detail.
• Accent Circles: Cherry Cobbler cardstock scrap die-cut with the (2⅛”) Stitched Circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies set.
• Focal Images: Basic White cardstock scrap.
  • The Classic Automobile image was stamped twice with Basic Gray ink and fussy-cut with Paper Snips.
• Sentiment Banner: Cherry Cobbler cardstock scrap.
  • The sentiment, To A Classic, was stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with White Embossing Powder.
  • The sentiment was then die-cut with the (2¾ x ⅝”) Stitched Banner die from the Stylish Shapes Dies set.

All elements were adhered to the card base.  The Automobiles were popped up with Dimensionals.

Black and White with a pop of classic Cherry Cobbler for a Classy Guy!
