Mount the "driving by just to say hi" sentiment from the Driving By Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Gorgeous Grape Ink Pad. Stamp it below the stamped van on the white rectangle so it is centered side to side and centered between the bottom of the van and the bottom of the rectangle.
Put the stamped van and sentiment white rectangle on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface. You need to make sure that you protect your work surface with paper as the Stampin' Blends Markers do bleed through.
Use the Dark Highland Heather Stampin' Blends to color in the
tire rims and small lights on the front and back of the van.
Use the Dark Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends to color in the tires and muffler.
Use the Light Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends to color in the bumpers and hubcaps.
Adhere the stamped and colored white rectangle to the center of the Gorgeous Grape rectangle.
Put the van stamped on the purple swirls designer paper on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Use the tip of one of the blades of the Paper Snips Scissors to poke holes in the back and middle windows.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to carefully cut out the windows of the van. Then, cut out the rest of the van. Cut off the lights on the front and back, the bumpers, the muffler, and the tires.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the cut out purple swirls van image over the top of the van image on the white rectangle so all the lines match up.
Cut a 7" piece of the Highland Heather 1/2" Grosgrain Ribbon and an 8" piece of the black and white Baker's Twine from the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack.
Fold the ribbon in half. Tie the twine around the folded end of the ribbon about 1" from the fold. Tie the twine in a small bow. Trim the ends of the twine. Trim the loose ends of the ribbon so they are sharp angles.
Use a strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive to adhere the folded ribbon with twine bow to the back of the matted van and sentiment rectangle. The ribbon should stick out to the right side of the rectangle. The twine bow should be just past the right edge of the rectangle. The ribbon should be in line with the sentiment.
Remove the protective backing from the Tear & Tape piece and add Stampin' Seal to the back of the Gorgeous Grape rectangle. Adhere it to the left side of the horizontal vellum rectangle so it is centered top to bottom and about 3/8" from the left edge.
Put a small strip of Tear & Tape under the loose ends of the ribbon on the vellum. Remove the protective backing and adhere one loose end of the ribbon to the Tear & Tape.
Put Stampin' Seal on the back of the vellum where it is hidden by the matted rectangle and ribbon. Adhere the vellum to the center of the Highland Heather rectangle.
