STAMPlorations Inspiration #66


I've got some STAMPlorations inspiration for a male card for you today, using the car from the mini set Enjoy The Ride.  I teamed it with a sentiment made from Sketchy Alphabet ('Happy') and Big Greetings ('birthday').

The background is part of a Gelli Plate masterboard I made a while ago.  I thought this portion looked suitably retro for the card.  The thing with Gelli Plate printing sessions is that you get a little carried away, and before you know it you have a huge Mt Gelli NBUS of prints, as Maria f has been finding out ;)  At least there's always a background or two to kickstart my creativity!

Pop on over to the STAMPlorations blog for some more fabulous inspiration from the Design Team, and don't forget to leave a comment to be in with a chance of winning a gift certificate.

I've also got a CASEplorations reminder for you.  We're CASEing this card by Betsy Veldman:


I've used the colour scheme, and the floral theme, but my central focus is one large flower rather than the sentiment encircled by flowers.


If you fancy having a go at CASEing Betsy's card, click on over to the CASEplorations post for all the details.

    So true about Mt Gelli schtuff! Very retro and I love the end result! I now have some of the smaller Gelli plates that have never been used - I must take the plunge soon!
