Car Cards.

A couple of last minute cards I made for the Easter Fayre at the care home.  They use an older wood mounted stamp by Hobby Art which I found in the home's craft cupboard. 

The first one used a cog mask from That Special Touch which was embossed by hand (no machine available here) and coloured with Distress Inks in Wild Honey and Rusty Hinge.  The car image was also lightly coloured with the same inks and a little Vintage Photo.

The second was done in a variety of Distress Inks and watercolours.
After the success of the Easter Fayre (most of the cards and mug rugs were sold) I need to clear my table and get a baby quilt made by month end.  I've been having too much fun with these cards which give such a (relatively) instant sense of achievement :)

  2. I'm not a quilter, but I totally understand about the instant gratification factor. These cards are wonderful - so different. Hand-embossing, wow. Love the cogs.
