Car Collage

A vintage-style card for a man using my never-before-inked car collage stamp.  I've been wanting to use it but don't have any cling foam for it to stick to a block, so I inked it then carefully picked it up with my fingers, placed it on the paper and pressed down with my stamp press.  It smudged a tiny bit but turned out ok  : )

Supplies:  pearlised brown card blank, Kaisercraft Vintage Timeless dp, card and paper scraps for sentiment label, sentiment sticker, Ranger Tim Holtz Gathered Twigs Distress Ink, dark copper brads, foam tape, ds tape.

Tools:  Big Shot, QuicKutz Nesting Ovals die, Spellbinders Double Ended Tags die, Vilda Stamps Car Collage stamp.
