I gave this some thought and decided I wanted to try something more of a masculine theme, as the colors just lend themselves perfectly to that. One of the design team members used a cute little car on her card and that gave me some additional inspiration. I pulled out my brightest blues and golds and some awesome old car stamps and got to work. I stamped the old model T truck in dark blue onto some lighter blue cardstock and cut it out. I did the same with the old time clock in the upper corner using gold cardstock for the base and placing a brad in the center. My pretty striped paper made the perfect 'road' and some gold border punched cardstock gave the appearance of a 'fence'. The sentiment is stamped from the same set of stamps and works perfectly for what I had in mind. Pop dots give the elements some dimension.
Oooo, I like how you turned these colors to a masculine card! And also how you were inspired by a DT member. :) That would make Ruby very happy, indeed.
