There have been quite a few events since I last blogged - including family birthdays (one really special one) and Mothers Day. I'll start at the beginning with my dad's birthday which was 12th February. My dad, who is now retired, used to have his own garage called Ace Motors - great name, and part of the reason why my blog is called Acorn Papercrafts. If you were ever looking for a garage in the yellow pages (do you remember those days?!!), he would always be the top of the list! A very basic piece of marketing advice he gave me when I was very small, and it stuck with me! Anyway, cars were always a major part of our life, so when I saw this card on Pinterest, I knew I had to recreate it for him.
If you look close enough, you may be able to see that I have handwritten the number plate ACE1 on the car too! This card will be reappearing later next month as part of my April card class. If you would like more details, please get in touch!
The stamp set is Guy Greetings and includes lots of male ideas, as it's name suggests!
The colours I've used for this are Sahara Sand and Night of Navy, and the background was created with the Brick Wall Embossing folder.
This card was just perfect for my dad, but I will need to borrow it back for the April card class so that we can see how to recreate it!!
I promise I'll be back soon!
