Red, Black and Gold Car Gatefold

This is the card I made for my cousin's husband who's a car mechanic, hence the subject of the card. At the time, I didn't have a suitable stamp so raided my peel-offs for the image.

I am entering this card into this week's Charisma Cardz blog challenge, which has a theme of Going Round In Circles.

Firstly, the topper for the card was created. A gold Anita's car peel-off was adhered to black paper and cut out. This was then adhered using 3D foam pads to a white circle of card, a larger red circle and a gold mirror card scalloped circle, all cut out using Nestabilities dies.

A gatefold card was created from white card and panels were created for the front from gold mirror card and red patterned paper from the HOTP Ultimate Floral Cardmaker's Creative Pack.

Circular 3D foam pads were added to the corners of the panels and covered with marbled black transfer foil. The sentiment was added to the image panel using red Doodlebug Simply Sweet rub-on lettering, and the panel attached across the opening of the card.
