I the this is a fun card as it brings back memories of drag racing as a teenager.  My card today is created using the Geared Up Garage stamp set and the Garage Gears Thinlits Dies.

My inspirations for today’s card comes from the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.

My sketch design comes from the MFTWSC425 Challenge.   

Instructions for card:

1. Card base – Real Red card stock 
2. A focal mat from the Classic Garage 6″ x  6″ Designer Series Paper (DSP)
3. A 1-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ strip cut from another panel of the Classic Garage DSP
4. A 3-3/8″ x 1-7/8″ rectangle cut from the same panel of DSP as the above strip.
5. The strip, rectangle and focal panel have all been embossed using the Subtle Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF)
6. Mat the strip and rectangle DSP using Real Red card stock.
7. Stamp the car on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock using Tuxedo Memento Black In.
8. Color the car using  Stampin’ Blends pens in Light and Dark Real Red and a Smokey Slate Stampin’ Write Marker.
9. Pop the car on the rectangle using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
10. Using the Garage Gears Thinlits Dies cut the gears from a panel of the Classic Garage  DSP.
11. Adhere them to the gray strip that looks like asphalt using Liquid Glue. 
12. Using Liquid Glue adhere the strip and rectangle to the focal panel.
13. Stamp the greeting on a Crushed Curry scrap from the Classic Garage DSP.
14. Cut the greeting to 1/2″ x 3″ size.
15. Using your Paper Snips cut into a banner on one end of the strip.  
16. Pop under the car using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
17. The inside sentiment panel is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock using a stamp from the Hello Cupcake stamp set.
18. The Garage Gears Thinlits Dies are used again to cut the gears for the sentiment panel
19. The gears are adhered using Liquid Glue.
