Never Grow Up!
Masculine Cards - ugh! I find them SO hard to make! I don't know why, but they can frustrate me. I have a friend who is having a birthday today and needed to make a card for HIM! I thought and thought and still wasn't sure of what to do. He has a few classic cars so I thought I'd incorporate them (some how) into the card. SO off I went surfin' the web to find a Plymouth Scamp (a car from the early '70's, I think). I finally found one that I thought maybe I could use. So I sat down with Inkscape and made a silhouette of it, cut it out and showed it to my DH. Well, I thought it was OK, but he looked at it and said "Really?" and started laughing. OK, so that went into the trash! Off surfin' again......Then I went to sleep. Finally this morning I had an idea. It is SO far removed from my original idea for the card, but I think it works. I found this cute digi-stamp from Mo's and well, the rest is below:
Yep, it is completely opposite of what I was planning to do! Then I had to think of a cute saying for the inside of the card...Well, my mind was about done by this time so I had to settle for this:
Hope he likes it!! Thanks for looking! Enjoy!

Paula,
I love this card (much better than usin the
car). It is so cute and he will love it.
The sentiment is good also.

Wow....Amazing Card...love it All!!
How did you color the stamp? Great job!
Still not sure what a scamp car is even though I looked it up, but do think this final creation is perfect. I do so love Mo's images!

This is great!!! I think you have captured the essence of the statement "the only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys". I really think this card is just what was needed.
Great card Paula!! So where did you find the small tires you added on the bottom of the card?
OMG!!!! That is SO ADORABLE!!! I absolutely LOVE it!!!!
wow, this is awesome! I'm sure your friend will love it. The inside saying is perfect!
I understand that this wasn't what you were going for but I love the inside sentiment. The colors make it very vibrant.
I like the card a lot.
That card is just adorable. I'm sure your friend is going to love it. It appears to be a card for a child on the outside, but the sentiment on the inside makes it perfect for an adult. You did great with this!
Jill...:-)

OMG...this is way too cute...I love the way you used the tire tracks it goes perfect with the card....again..very creative.
