Fred She Said Old "Time" Truck


You know Father's Day is coming up real soon! So, I have a bunch of guys here that love Classic Trucks and Cars. I don't make a lot of masculine cards, but with a pre-colored image like this from Fred She Said....well, you guessed it, I could make one every day. I am on the FSS Design Team and Traci gave us this truck and there are several different colored trucks that are really cool. You may have seen the rust colored one I did. Be sure to check them out here if your are interested!I have had this idea in my head for a couple of months since I picked up these Timepiece Clear Stamps from Sandylion at Micheal's. The background paper even has clocks on it and it is from At Home by My Minds Eye. I stamped the timepieces with versamark and embossed with black. Then I used a glue pen and antique silver glitter on the faces. I used crystal effects on my truck to give it the "new wax" look. There are glittered brads in the corners and clear rhinestones on the die cut.
I used several different punches as follows for decorating the card:
EK Success Scroll Border Punch (I got this for $2.99 after Christmas-what a bargain!)
Spellbinders Fleur D' Lis Pendant both big and small-I cut the small one in half for all the corners
Martha Stewart PATP Gothic Arches

This card is entered in the following challenges:
Stampin' for the Weekend - Summer Travel Theme
