At the start of Papertrey Ink‘s fourth anniversary celebrations, Nichole Heady introduced Make It Mondays which included an inspirational video tutorial by Erin Lincoln. She inspired us to make a card using repeating sentiments and here’s mine. I started by stamping a sentiment from Enjoy the Ride at the very bottom of the card base and cut out the olive and white mats. I stamped the flourish followed by sentiments from Masculine Motifs and Birthday Basics along the curves. Then I die cut the car, inked it and cut out the window. I mapped out where the stars would show through the window, stamped them and popped the car on with dimensionals.
