Make it Monday #20

I haven't made too many of these challenges (the week  always seems too short) but this week's challenge (reverse masking) inspired me.

I decided to make a card for my godson, Jonathan, who lives in London and has just passed his Common Entrance Exam.  He's very sporty but has to work for academic results, so I'm doubly proud of him.  For the card I ended up doing both reverse masking and ordinary masking to get the checkerboard pattern and then the red surrounds on the car. Really pleased with how this one turned out:

Supplies
Paper - PTI stamper's select white, kraft
Stamps - PTI Enjoy the Ride, Tim Holtz Bitty Grunge
Ink - Versafine onyx black,  Memento lady bug, PTI vintage tea dye duo
Accessories - PTI Enjoy the Ride die, glass brads, copy paper, removable adhesive, foam tape
