I was inspired by the muscle car on Robin’s card and knew this Spellbinders die would be a great fit, so I cut the pieces from blue, black, and silver cardstock and layered them to build the car. The combination of colors gave it a bold, polished look that worked perfectly for the theme.
After assembling the car, I pulled a vintage style paper from the stash I am working through this year and mounted it on silver to echo the metallic accents. I added a blue ombre layer for extra depth, then placed everything on silver and finally a black card base to ground the design.
With the foundation complete, I added dimension by popping up both the car and the sentiment, which gave the finished card a clean, striking presence.
