Happy Birthday, Joe!

This card is for my brother, Joe. His birthday is today. When he was a teenager he bought a Corvette and worked hard to restore it. I found this digi image at Doodle Palace and bought it with Joe in mind. I colored the image with markers and shaded it with watercolor pencils. CS is Archiver's. Blue DP is Frances Meyer. Red DP is The Paper Patch. I cut stars with a Creative Memories punch. I popped the car and paper star up with dimensional dots. The red and blue star buttons are from Archiver's.The sentiment is my own, typed on my computer. It refers to the car and also to my brother! The card fits these challenges: 1. Pile It On- Birthday 2. All Sorts- Something for the Boys 3. Mojo Monday- Sketch 4. Our Creative Corner- Stars and Stripes 5. Cupcake Craft Challenge- Red, White, and Blue

  7. Hi Cat

    Great male card - I think all men would love a car like this - so they would appreciate the card too.

    Ladies on the other hand know that red paint on a car is a "no-no" - the sun does something to red paint on cars and eventually sends them "two tone". But I suppose men don't expect to keep their cars long enough for this to happen!! LOL!!!

    Sorry .. .. .. back to your card. Love your image and your backing papers - great take on the challenge.

    Thank you for playing along with the Allsorts Challenge this week.

    Love Jules xx
