CONGRATULATIONS on Your New Car! Today's CAS challenge theme is to make a card with something that smells good on it. My cousin just bought a new car and new cars smell good so ... this card was fun to make! She will be surprised when the card arrives and I think she'll like it.
What I did: With Versafine black, I stamped SU Hi-ways & Bi-ways (couldn't find it listed by name in member galleries!) Stamped Crafters Lounge car on SU going gray and real red. Cut out complete gray, car for base, and cut out the red to paper piece. Put it together, then added some shading with my Prisma watercolor pencils. With Versafine satin red, I stamped the Paper Smooches sentiment. Hand-cut two SU dp flags, stapled them on. Rubbed onto pirouette pink, a SU butterfly, cut out and added.
Stamps: Crafter's Lounge, Paper Smooches, SU
Paper: SU, M's Valu-Pack white
Ink: Versafine black + satin red
Accessories: SU rub-on, Zots glue dot, staples, Tim Holtz scissors for fussy cutting
Technique: paper piecing

Your cousin will be thrilled...and creative thinking on your part, Gabby, not to take the usual approach to "smells great" challenge. Really nice card.
