Put together at last

I love the challenge of trying to create something that I have seen using what I have. The inspiration for this card came from one of my boys shirts {a favourite place to find ideas especially for boys}. I discovered another Sullivans stamps set that had the racing cars that I needed. This one took a few different stamps sets to create. The best creation was the route 66 label that I have made a stencil to use over again. Amazing what you can create with a bit of time and a play with the products you have. Love how it turned out.

Colours: going grey, night of navy, cherry cobbler, old olive
Stamps: racing (sullivans), grunge (kaiser), dress up lily (PCS), itty bitty bits (SU), alpha (rosie's studio), bobble alpha (CDS) alpha (martha stewart)
Finishing touches: stitching, white embossing powder, star punch, horizontal slit punch (SU)

So the challenge for this month was to get inspired by your favourite chocolate bar. Had me stumped for a bit until I got a bar and had a munch while studying the wrapper. I started with the colours first. I wanted to create a similar style with the design of the text so mixed up sentiments from whimsical words and lots of thoughts. It was then that I decided to put it together for my son's birthday so I could include the date and the hearplane (airplane) All in all very pleased with the end result and surprised by how much I could get from the inpsiration given.

Colours: very vanilla, so saffron, not quite navy, early espresso
Stamps: birthday whimsy, whimsical thoughts, lots of thoughts (SU), alpha (martha stewart, transport (sullivans)
Finsihing touches: patterned paper (various), copper and brown sugar embossing powders (american crafts), round tab punch (SU), faux stitching
