Great Beginnings-Frosted Designs Reveal

I have been absolutely dying to make one of these layouts with the faux metal look and It only took me a few hours to actually get this one made.. Fasted layout I've made yet..LOL

Everything you see underneath the metal is cut out of chipboard just so it pops off of the layout..

Here is my take on our Sketch:

the story behind the layout is....

My husband opened up his own garage here in Finland specializing in Amercian cars and this corvette is one of the first cars he got to tamper with a few years back.. I printed the photo in Sepia, to match the metal feel and look of the layout, I think my inks might be running low or something, cause it came out awfully red..LOL

and this is my first attempt at this style, so its not perfect just yet..LOL

and here is the sketch that I followed when I created this layout:

I dont' have many close ups, but here are the few that I do have...

and for supplies used:

Here is the link to her video and just so you know, Its not my video so be kind and leave her some love..

Thats it for the supplies.. wow, what a short list.  LOL

I'm off to enjoy my work day now.. I promised my hubby that I would start putting in more hours at his garage this week, even though I already work a full time job at a grocery store managing the bakery and dairy departments..LOL   hopefully this won't interfere with my crafting, cause that aint' gonna work then..LOL

have a great rest of the week ladies..
