Well, it’s about time I made a card with a racing theme!
After all, my family is full of Drag Racers!
My husband, son and brother-in-law have all raced nearly their entire lives...a legacy that was left to them by my dear departed father-in-Law who taught them everything they know!
I even dipped my toes in the “Drag Racing” game at our local Drag Strip (which has since sadly closed down), for the Wednesday Night Drags and actually won on 4 occasions!
I was pretty excited when I saw that Stampin’ Up was releasing a stamp set with a racing theme…(even if it wasn’t drag racing!) Still waiting on that one…that would be beyond awesome!
For now, this one will have to do and I have to say it’s pretty cool!
My husband loves the color red and his race car is red, so of course that is the color I chose for this race car!
His next favorite color is blue and the new car he is building will be blue and white, so I naturally leaned to that color also.
This stamp set is perfect for that masculine card you might be looking to make for that special man in your life!
