Enjoy the Adventures Ahead

Today I'm sharing a birthday card I recently made for an 'old' and dear friend. I spent over half of my 31 year working career working with him.  Although I retired over ten years ago, he is just getting ready to start enjoying his well deserved retirement.

One of his retirement 'toys' is a new red Ford GT Mustang! What better image to use for this milestone birthday.

  I used a Goggle free image hoping that I'm close to the actual car.  Anyone that colors with Copics, knows how hard Red is to shade and blend. This one was no exception. 

Once I got the car colored, I penciled in the mountains and colored in the shading.  Then I added the setting sun and sky coloring accordingly.  

   I used a 6" square card base, covered with the peachy paper.  I trimmed the completed image and added the black liner mat. The sentiment was computer generated, matted in the same black liner mat and added near the bottom of the card front.  I added the washi tape from the left side to the sentiment.  Lastly I added glossy accents to the windshield and side window to complete the design. 

Thank you for stopping by today to view my blog. I enjoy sharing my work with you and invite you to 'Follow' my blog and to visit my site - "Not Just Scraps' on Facebook - where you can purchase my cards.
