Geared Up Garage meets Perennial Birthday and more

Hello, and thank you for popping by today!

It's our eldest Grandson's birthday today, and oh it makes me feel old, but he's adorable and we are blessed to have him.

All measurements are in centimetres.
Terracotta tile 2 pieces, 21 x 14.85, scored at 10.5 (card base) 4 x 9 (car), very vanilla 10 x 14.3 (mat).
the colours are black, smoky slate, terracotta tile, very vanilla
(cs) = cardstock, (ef) = embossing folder, (ss) = stamp set

• First, with the very vanilla (cs) mat and using first and second generation stamping stamp down the left hand side using the happy birthday from the perennial birthday (ss). I used my stamparatus for this. Then in between the happy birthday's stamp the second sentiment using the itty bitty birthday (ss).
• With the geared up garage (ss) stamp the splodge of oil down the right hand side of the mat using the stamped off method to attain different shading.
• Distress the mat by ripping around all four edges and sponging with smoky slate ink (if you slightly dampen the edges it's easier to rip).
• Then emboss using the subtle (ef) and adhere to the card base.
• With the smaller terracotta tile (cs) piece stamp the car from geared up garage.
• Die cut the car using the garage gear dies and attach to the card using dimensional pads.
• Add the faceted gems and black rhinestone.

Will be back again soon with more cards.
