Mazda mx5 2.01 niseko roadster

Another commissioned card for a 70th Birthday. The Dad in question is an enthusiast of a very specific car, and I added the numberplate of his version to the front of the card.

I collected the images from google and then recoloured them and made a photomontage. Added some silver studs to finish. Hopefully he will love it!

BMW card.

Used my photo card formula to make a commissioned man's card for a BMW 3 series E92 coupe owner. Tried my best to get it accurate, but it's hard when you don't know much about specific cars! :)

Using images from Honest John Car Reviews and the Autocar website I used Paint Shop Pro to make a collage and then changed the resulting image to black and white to match the silver theme of the card.

Camel Land Rover

Commission card for a friend, combining a Camel Landrover with being a builder :) I went with a colour theme and then chose elements to fit in! 

Background paper made with (google-image) building plans layered (via PSP) onto a white background and printed out. Then I coloured it with distress inks and flicked water droplets on it. Glossy accented the windows in the Landrover to finish off.

The Font for the sentiment is "Coffin Nails". Read more about the Camel Trophy here.

Second Card of the Day.

So had to make two 21st cards and this time chose another of the recipient's interests, old green landrovers.

This is a vintage advertisement that I converted into a four layer decoupage image. I couldn't resist adding some stickles glitter. The sheep were lucky not to get glittered too!

Happy New Year!

New Year's Resolution ~ start blogging more of my cards as I make them! Sometimes it might be tricky to post all of the cards because I don't want to ruin the surprise if they are for someone I know online but it'd be nice to show the kind of cards I make for my present customers.
This is a card for a BMW enthusiast. I went with some pictures of the new BMW i8.
This card has also hardened my resolve to update my printer. This German engineering required far crisper printing!
