Get Well Wishes - Loads of Love

I’ve had this Stampin’ Up set, Loads of Love, for ages but believe this is the first time I used it and I am so so pleased with the result. I will admit that the layout and color combo I saw elsewhere and copied into my notebook of “things I really like and might do some day”. I needed a card for a male friend who is recuperating from recent surgery and this one certainly fits the bill. Used my Stampin’ Up piercing tool and mat to add a little detail. I know the chrome on the tire IS the tire - no rubbah here - and is perhaps a little too much but I so love this touch. Super cool! “Grammy, that’s a cool truck,” Max would say. I asked him one day what made a car ‘cool’. Lots of stickers, a spoiler and hubcaps, I was told. With hubcaps this big, this truck has GOT to be cool! Inside I used the stamp set Lovely as a Tree and the sentiment Get Well Wishes from Teeny Tiny Wishes. The cardstock is Kraft, Night of Navy and Old Olive. The ribbon is also Old Olive. I colored the truck with my Copics: B91 Pale Grayish Blue and B95 Light Grayish Cobalt. It doesn’t fit into my Double Double challenge, I’m afraid. While I have used two hubcaps, nothing I used was laying about or unfinished. Still, I do so like the card. It’s a manly man’s card. lolĀ  I hope it brings a smile.
