Chevrons or stripes at Sweet Stampin'


 Good morning, this is my DT card for this fortnight's challenge at Sweet Stampin', the theme is 

CHEVRONS OR STRIPES

I made this for a very special friend's birthday, he'll be 92 in September, although you would never believe it if you saw him, he really does wear his years very well.

He is a hero, one of the last surviving veterans of the Korean War, his regiment was the Royal Engineers, my card design is a nod to his passions- his patriotism and regimental colours...and motorcycles! The panel with the chevrons was created with a stencil, the motorcycle is stamped and embossed with white EP (sorry have misplaced the stamp, will add the make when it surfaces!) and the sentiment stamped and embossed in gold. 

There's more inspiration from my lovely teamies over at Sweet Stampin' so do pop over for a visit!

Thanks for looking, have a good weekend

Chris

  8. Your bold chevron panel, crisp embossed motorcycle, and gold sentiment come together in such a powerful way, and the strong colors and thoughtful details create a meaningful and striking birthday card that reflects your friend’s spirit so well.
