I woke this morning thinking about this card as I have weddings coming up that I need cards for. I thought about trying the cut away technique again. I traced my square, stamped my jalopy then colored it in. I used the Versamarker to emboss the bumper in silver then I embossed the tin cans in pewter and cut them out to hang over the edge. I cut away the square with my Exacto knife to leave my car. I added a frame around the edge and then mounted my white card front onto black with dimensionals. I stamped my sentiment and made notched banner ends with a square punch then used dimensionals for it as well. My final touch was the red hearts for tail lights. I also added some hearts on the inside white piece.

The extra work and time it took to make the cutaway frame is so worth it! This is adorable with that little old-fashioned jalopy and tin cans! Great wedding card, brilliant idea!!
