Hi from Texas! Connie Mercer here, to share with you some guy cards and a journal page using the new Classic Cars Vol.2 Stamp Set! This is great for creating cards for the men in your life. They all love cars and especially fast ones. This set also goes great with Classic Cars Vol.1. You will want both sets for sure. They compliment each other so well.
Instructions:
1. Start with a grey piece of cardstock for your card front.
2. Stamp the Grid Background Stamp on the grey cardstock with Distress Oxide Ink (Black Soot).
3. Using a spray bottle of water mist the front of the card. The ink will oxidize and create a distressed look. Dab off extra water. Dry with heat tool.
4. Stamp the car (front side view) stamp on card front.
5. Stamp numbers (from Vintage Office) in left top corner of card with Black ink.
6 Stamp the car (side view) on grey cardstock with black ink.
7. Trim out three sides and gently tear off bottom side.
8. Mat on beige cardstock. Repeat the tearing technique on the beige cardstock also.
9. Adhere to card front.
10. Mat the card front on beige cardstock and then black cardstock.
11. Then add to a folded white card base.
12. Speckle card front with white ink.
13. Stamp sentiment on beige card stock and trim out.

Instructions:
1. Create a background using layers and layers of random colors of acrylic paint. Mine started out as a page that I had cleaned the roller from the Gel-Press on. It has hints of pink and purple under the green and yellow tones. I dulled that with the black paint.
2. Add texture to the pages with stencils and modeling paste. The white modeling paste applied over paint kinda of takes on the colors of the paint and I lost the look I was going after.
3. So I re-applied the stencil using acrylic paint. The paint stayed white and I loved it on the black painted spots on the pages.
4. The sides of the pages were stamped with Stitched Borders set, giving the look that the pages were stitched with a sewing machine.
5. The center was created by stamping the car images on vintage dictionary paper with black ink. When the journal was closed the center paper tore apart.
6. Stickers were added and stamped with StazonOn black ink. (The stickers have a shiny surface and I wanted to make sure the text was not going to smear.)
7. Add speckles with black ink over the vintage dictionary paper.
8. Shading was added to the center, where the paper tore.
9. Vintage photo corners were added to the vintage dictionary paper.
