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.

I've used a nautical theme for this card,  because I'm really enjoying these new dies and cling stamps. They are so much better than our older one's.

Stamp the Lighthouse on the smaller piece of Whisper White (cs) in Night of Navy.
Die cut the Lighthouse, along with the Rope and Knot using the two smaller pieces of  Soft Suede (cs).
Adhere the larger piece of DSP to the bottom of the first layer (soft suede) leaving an equal space on all three sides using liquid glue
Rotate round and do the same with the smaller piece of DSP (overlapping the bottom piece slightly).
Adhere the Rope across the join between the two pieces of DSP and trim down. (I used narrow tear & tape).
Adhere this layer to the base card using liquid glue.
Go back to the stamped Whisper White Thick (cs) and add some Birds across the top. then stamp the Sand in Crumb Cake towards the bottom.
Again tear all the sides off to give it a distressed look.
Add some Clear Wink of Stella to the sand.
Adhere the Lighthouse and Rope to this layer using dimensional pads.
Now attach to the base card using dimensional pads.
Stamp the Sentiment on the Very Vanilla (cs) using Night of Navy.
Now tear all the sides off to give it a distressed look, then lightly sponge all over using Crumb Cake.
Slightly bend the sentiment and add a Candy Dot to the top left corner.
Adhere to the card using dimensional pads.
