Rubbernecker | April 2022 Release Day Two

Hello! I am back sharing two more cards that feature the Rubbernecker April release. See my previous post here.

My first card showcases the Model A Truck on a masculine card.

I paired the Model A Truck with the Barn and a fun sentiment in the Dad Phrases set.

The scene background was created with the Peak Fence #4 and Slimline Grass.

My second card features one of the new cover plates – the Circle Stitch Cover die – on a CAS birthday card.

I paired the Circle Stitch Cover die with a heat-embossed sentiment in the Birthday Vase set.

After inlaying the colored panels in the white cardstock frame, I embellished the card with hearts cut with a die in the Shed Bird House set.
