Good Monday morning. I have a masculine vintage car die cut card to share with you today with a pretty framed outdoor tree scene in the background. To create my project I used the Rubbernecker 567-01 Woody Stamp, 567-01D Woody Die, 924 Fall Foliage, 3011 Kittie Kits Outdoor Master and 5131D Square Combo #1 OPC Die.
Create the Tree
I secured the tree trunk and branch stamp and white cardstock in my MISTI. I inked the stamp with brown ink, lightly blotted the upper branch portion with a wet baby wipe and then stamped it. I wanted the upper branches to be less visible than the main trunk image. I secured the upper tree leaf stamp of the tree in my MISTI and applied a light shade of green to the whole image and stamped it. I applied different darker shades of green ink on sections of the stamp multiple times and stamped until I had created a variegated tree top. I used the tiny multi dots stamp from the Outdoor Master set to create texture by stamping a few different shades of green and blue to to the tree top. I used a water brush and brown reinkers to fill in the tree trunk.
Create the Fence and Ground
I stamped sections of the fence from the Outdoor Master on both sides of the tree using brown ink. Unfortunately, I didn’t get them stamped evenly but I wasn’t going to stop after working so hard on the tree. LOL! I filled in the fence sections using a water brush and brown reinkers. I stamped the ground section using green ink but used a water brush and green reinkers to create a grass area that covered the whole bottom portion of the scene. I used the tiny multi dots stamp with green, blue and orange ink to add texture and the appearance of a flower border to the grass area.
Vintage Car Die Cut
I stamped the Woody two time using black versafine ink on blue cardstock and cut it out. I cut the car out using the die and then trimmed around it to remove the edges and cut the wheel sections off. I cut the windows out of one using a craft knife. I colored the wood sections of the car with a brown marker. I colored the wheels of the second car using a gray marker and then attached the front car over the background car using mounting tape. If I had it to do over again I would have stamped the car on watercolor paper and colored it with reinkers. Next time!!!
Framing the Scene
I cut the frame and attached the two sections together using double stick tape. I attached mounting tape to the back of the frame and attached it over the scene. Next, I attached the scene to the blue layer with mounting tape and and then attached the blue layer to the card base with another layer of mounting tape. I think the popped layers adds more interest to the card than it would with all the layers flat. I finished by attaching the Woody to the frame using piece of mounting tape.
I really love the Fall Tree set and refused to allow myself to think it could only be used for fall. Next time I play with it I plan to create s spring or summer card with a green background and some colorful flowers mixed in among the branches. I think the Woody vintage car die cut makes a perfect focal point for a masculine card. Thanks for coming by and I hope you have a great day.

Kittie, I love this scene…love that car…want it…but really don’t know what I would do with it….would love for you to email me with more suggestions…so cool…and love how you did the shadow…I really like the Rubbernecker site and their prices have always been so reasonable…Hugs
Hi Vickie, I love the Woody too. I think it is fun to use for masculine cards. It can be used alone on a card front with sentiments, sandy beach scenes with surfboards, snowy outdoor scenes. I always find it harder to come up with good ideas for masculine cards. Most guys love cars. Thanks so much for your lovely comment. I appreciate it.
Love the old fashion station wagon with your big tree!
