A Cool Car & A Hot Chick...

It's been so HOT and we're all attempting to stay COOL. This is another card that I created while keeping cool in my hide-away. Bombshell Stamps are known for their "hot chicks" but did you know that they also have "cool car" stamps?? This card is made using a combination of stamp sets- the "hot chick" is from the Bombshell Angel set. The "cool car" and the flag image are from Bombshell's Speed Shop set. The "Built for Speed" sentiment is from the King of the Road set.

All images are stamped onto GP110 white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Blak ink and colored with Copic Markers. The "hot chick" (aka Bombshell Angel) is cut out and adhered to the front of the car panel. The card base is Basic Black and is sized at 5-1/4" square. The next layer is silver metallic cardstock that has been embossed using my Cuttlebug and Diamond Plate embossing folder. As I was rummaging through the mess that is my stamping room, I found some red, yellow and green brads and thought they looked like a traffic light, so I added them to the card as well. This card kind of reminds me of the drag racing scene in the movie Grease. I'm pretty happy with it. What do you think?
