You Make My Heart Race Card

I created this card using the sketch challenge at

Operation Write Home today, #213.

It is another kind of goofy card

to add to the cards I'll be donating

to OWH at some point.

I've been making a lot of those lately it seems.

The digital stamp/word art was created by myself using

the new My Memories Suite V5 software.

It has new clear background and export as PNG features ! 

You can do the same thing using

 Photoshop/Photoshop Elements.

To make this word art, 

all I did was create four different

text boxes and used four different

fonts / sizes for the words.

I should have searched online for a

more race car / fast looking font, I think.

I moved them around

and adjusted the sizes 

until I liked the look. 

I exported it as a PNG from the MMSV5 software

I'd like to spend more time learning how to

create word arts/digital stamps.

 It's another one of those

"If I had more time in the day...." projects.

The other images are stamp images that were available from Stampin' Up!, a couple of them are quite
old and no longer available (Tire Tracks wheel, Bold Check Frame). The car (Need For Speed) is the closest I have to a race car image. It was colored with a Real Red marker from Stampin' Up!  I need to add Crystal Effects to the headlights.

The heart was die cut from a scrap of red fleece material that was sitting on my work table using an old Movers and Shapers die from Stampin' Up! . I thought it would be fun to use something different than card stock. Also a kind of "Thoughts of you warm my heart" touch - oh, that's a good idea for another card like this actually ! Maybe if I do make that one, I'll dig out some scraps of paper for the strips rather than make my own from stamped images.


Thanks for looking =)
