Card - Challenge - Transportation

I created this card for an on-line challenge for which the theme was Transportation.  I decided to use some images from a CD of Ephemera that came my way this week.  I've not explored it all yet but it looks like it will be great.  I printed the old plane and the vintage toy card which gave me my palette of red and grey.  I printed the word and smudged it with some chalk.  I placed a piece of grey paper which I torn the bottom edge and smudged it with the same red chalk. I cut a plane in silver paper with my Cricut and the Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge.  I added a vintage post card.  I added a black Stampin Up! Decorative Label punchie which I trimmed to the edge of the card.  I stapled a couple of pieces of silver organza ribbon onto it.  The final touch was a red silk flower in the top right hand corner held in place with a tiny black brad.

Card Club - Transportation

This is a nod to the transportation theme which is likely popular with most of the males in our lives.  Trucks, cars, planes, etc in wonderful primary colors of red, blue, yellow, orange, and black.  I chose to keep the yellow border and the green ribbon and black thread consistent.  I chose the card to match the dominant vehicle in the designer paper.  The DP was cut 5.25x 3.  The yellow border was made with a Fiskars - Upper Crest border punch, which was adhere just below the DP.  I added green gross grain ribbon and taped the ends into the inside of the card.  I wrapped a black thread twice around and knotted it on the front and trimmed its ends.
