16th Birthday

 For all the guys in the family I have been using cars for their 16th birthday, this one is from advent calendar die set. In the first picture you can see my reflection in the car, but I used bronze metallic cardstock for it. Added the license plate and a border for the car to ride on :) and die cut the sentiment.


  • Spellbinders - Advent Calendar car dies
  • Tim Holtz - Metallic cardstock
  • Recollections - Awesome boy papers
  • DieVersions - Celebrate die

I would like to share my card with the following Challenge: The Paper Players Tic Tac Toe Challenge, I did the Transport, Free and For the kids blocks

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Connie

Fantastic masculine design — the metallic car looks amazing with its bronze shine, and the gears and tire‑tread background add perfect texture. A great choice for a milestone birthday.
