Rev Up for a Sketch

Welcome to a hot Sunday evening in Melbourne!! Yes, I know there are some people who are experiencing major snow falls….and that's something I sure wouldn't want to be in. But let me tell that you that the car at one point today was reading 39.5 degrees Celsius and when the car stopped it felt like we were melting!! Thank goodness we came home to Air Con and it meant I had the best excuse to make a card as it was too hot to move too much :-)

I needed a masculine "Thank You" card and with a stamp set in mind to use, found the perfect sketch to inspire me by Kim at Freshly Made Sketches :-)

I have some DSP on my table from the last card I made and it will suit this sketch and my theme perfectly - don't you just love it when that happens :-)

Yes, a retired favourite stamp set but what else do you give a professed "car enthusiast" aka Rev head??

To help this be slightly less retired looking I added the fresh "Back to Black" DSP and the teamed it with the Large Polka Dots EF. The randomly placed "black dots" are Basic Pearls coloured with a black Permanent marker. In the past I have teamed this stamp with Gorgeous Grunge and simply couldn't resist doing it again.

And the greeting itself is also covered in Crystal Effects - as is the little heart  to give it a little shine :-)
