Men's Card "Cross my heart and hope to FLY"

This card was made at our Stamp Club meet up this month. I love our little get togethers as they are fun, idea sharing & every month one of us gets the freebies as a host. This month was Kaszazz month, so I get to show the group something new, get their imaginations flowing, etc. I do the demonstrating for the Kaszazz month & a friend of mine does Stampin' Up! the alternative month. This way, we get a great cross section of stamps, colours, dies, embossing... the list goes on & on.
Anyway, back to the card at hand. A quick run down on what I came up with, Apart from being all Kaszazz products.... lol. The papers.... I used one of the designer series 12x12 sheets (Funky Forest 2941 Lagoon Flourish Stripes) for the background colour of the car (page 64, Retro Car 4494J of the main catalogue) stamped & fussy cut around the car, all stamping was done with "Memento" black ink pad as well as the sentiment which is from the newest catalogue. I used the "Tags #3" (2915) for the label (black card stock), I "stamp dyed" the wide striped navy & white ribbon plus a tied checkered black & white thinner ribbon on the tag, vanilla card stock & a fine nibbed art pen for the roughly drawn lines around the outer edge. I enjoy coming up with "male themed cards" it's a good challenge if you get bored with the flowers & lace of female cards. Let's face it, if you make cards a lot.... then you most probably have tons on female cards.... more than you have to give to friends & family for a lifetime...lol
Talking of "Challenges", I have decided to enter this one into "The Stamp Spot" Blog Challenge the month of April, as it is "Masculine Cards and Paper craft projects".
