Hello! I am delighted to introduce the Open Road Collection at Spellbinders with which I created a mini-slimline Congratulations card, suitable for a variety of occasions including graduation, a new job, or a promotion. The focal point – the car and balloons – was created with the Open Road die set.
- Place Sun Burst Stencil on mini-slimline card base. Mask stencil at horizon line. Apply Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink through the stencil.
- Mask sun burst portion and apply Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink below the horizon line.
- Paint Bristol cardstock with acrylic paints. Once dry, cut three balloons with dies in the Open Road set and glue crochet string to the backs
- Cut car pieces with Open Road die set from silver foil, Brushed Silver, Onyx, shiny black, orange, red, and yellow cardstock. Assemble.
- Stamp Open Road Sentiments on Snowdrift cardstock and cut with On Cloud Nine dies.
- Add car to scene with foam adhesive. Place balloon strings through the piece on the back of the car. Secure with glue and trim ends.
- Add clouds to scene, popping up the largest one with foam adhesive.
Wow, another car and this one is amazing! The silver insets just make it. The balloons have a fun paint technique, and the strings are perfect.
Oooo – so glad Spellbinders added a side view car die – love it and what you did with it, Jean!! So fun in the colors you chose!!
You are amazing, and this is a fabulous card Jean.
